Nothing is listening on it. > The standard qmail daemons are running in the background but > nothing is listening on the smtp port. Do you have something like the following in /var/qmail/rc, or any other file you start qmail with? /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -lhostname -u 82 -g 81 \ -x /var/qmail/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & This starts tcpserver on smtp port. When a connection is accepted, it is passed on to qmail-smtpd. Please check the options for tcpserver, you probably don't want some of the options I have. --- Samuel Chow cyschow@shaw.ca Segmentation Fault (core dumped) This message is displayed using recycled electrons.
