/service/qmail-smtpd problem?

[p_red]

Hello,
All email sent to my server is getting bounced with this message:

(edit server ip address) does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 relay not permitted

qmailctl stat always shows /service/qmail-smtpd: up for only 1 second then it goes back to 0 seconds. But never longer than 1 second. Is there a problem with the /service/qmail-smtpd binary?

How can I fix this?


qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 14992) 687 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 15001) 687 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 18384) 0 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 15002) 687 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 14994) 688 seconds
/service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 14995) 688 seconds

and 1 second later:
qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 14992) 688 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 15001) 688 seconds

I found the problem.

I had yum set to update the server. And for whatever reason YUM installed the exim rpm.

Exim was using port 25 so qmail couldn't.

rpm -e exim!

thanks.
