Hello,
=20
after months of agony, pain, misery..... I just got my User PPP working. =
:-) I'm using FBSD 2.2.6.
But my email isn't working. In fact when the PPP link comes up I get a =
load of errors from sendmail along the lines of:
=20
sendmail[450]: problem creating SMTP port
sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: cannot bind: =
Address already in use
sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: server SMTP =
socket wedged: exiting
=20
Now I get hundreds of these messgaes flooding my xterms....
=20
Also when I try to download mail from my ISP's incoming mail server =
(mail.force9.net) using the sendmail ETRN command "ETRN <myhost>", I =
get:
=20
502 unimplemented(#5.5.1)
And end up not being able to download any email.
=20
Any ideas??
=20
Thanks,
=20
Ghulam
