@4000000042d050bb0a53843c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used

i doe a nmap and i get port is closed

>> address already used

Normally means another MTA is installed and running on that port, so qmail cannot bind to a port that's already being used by another process.

>> nmap and i get port is closed

Open it. Normally this is done on your router's config panels.

Port is open on my router and in iptables. So thats not it. I removed Sendmail from this box and it still says the port is closed. I'll tinker around more. How can i tell if another MTA is in use?

[Donboy]

I don't know if there is a way to determine if another MTA is working. Usually when you connect to SMTP (for example) it will respond with a greeting that tells us what MTA is working.

You've done all I know to open the port. If there is some other forces at work (maybe your ISP) this could be the case.

I dunno where u from, but in the netherlands the isp called: @home blocks that port.

[wickednix]

ports are not blocked. Comfirmed that with my ISP.
