The logs say nothing. What I had noticed is that sending through an email client, the messages do not appear to hit my system at all and are sent to my mailbackup. once i switch back, the mail starts comming in from the mailbackup as normal. laster today i will run a tcpdump session on my FW checking to see if anything hits me and i will also try with a email client externally and enable logging on that. > > >>/* >> * Uncomment this to enable uid/gid changing >> * (switching UID/GID is NOT compatible with TLS; you may keep this >>commented if you have TLS) >> */ >>#define CHKUSER_ENABLE_UIDGID > > Are you using this the right way, putting right setuid/setgid bits on > over patched qmail-smtpd? I am not sure, I belive this was uncommended and didnt change it at all. I am not using any TLS patches [I couldnt get them to work at the time so i stopped trying]. I didnt think it would hurt to leave it enabled. the patches I am using are: maildir++ and qmail-remote-auth and of course trying to get chkuser working. I thought it would be ok since the qmail-smtpd/run script is pulling up qmail-smtpd as the vpopmail user and group. should i try to uncomment this and try again? > >>thanks for any help in advance >> >>Dan Delaney > > Tonino > > > thanks again Dan Delaney
