qmailrocks ROCKS!

[Martin Hauptmann]

Heya!

After installing a qmailserver 2 years or so ago I had to do it again. But either I got dimmer or the documentation got worse (I remember finding useful stuff on inter7 then that is not available anymore).

I didn't get it done. Then I found qmailrocks and it worked at once. GREAT!

I tried it on another system and now I hit a problem:

in Chapter 11 I

telnet localhost 25

and that leads to:


root@mailserver:/downloads/qmailrocks/qmailadmin-1.2.3# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to mailserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
root@mailserver:/downloads/qmailrocks/qmailadmin-1.2.3#


qmail-smtpd runs, local nmap says port 25 is open.

What is up? :?

Someone help me?

THX

Hello,

Do you have:
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

...in /etc/tcp.smtp ??

I didn't change the default, therefore this line is in /etc/tcp.smtp

I had thought of that myself and added the line

192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

and tried it from another machine in the LAN. That didn't help, either.

Heya!

The problem is gone. I simply rebooted and it worked.

Of course I looked through ps ax and found nothing concerning smtp or so. So I do not have an idea what the reason for malfunctioning was. Felt like a gone-mad smtpd somewhere but couldn't find it.

And then an archaic reflex from former windows-times came through again: reboot!

Now I know again what windows is good for.

THX for help!
