Hi,

I followed a HOWTO on www.tldp.org to set this up. I have them both running.

The problems are:

  1. I cant receive any email
  2. When I send it the address goes from shak.homelinux.org to the hostname of my box "lemming.unixshak.org.uk" <set up like that so I dont have to change it when I get my subdomains setup, this is a problem as I cant reply to any messages to there...>
    [/list=1]

    I think this may be linked, when mail is being sent is it being sent to the address "lemming.unixshak.org.uk" instead of "shak.homelinux.org.uk" I wouldnt have thought so but it may be.

    I have port 143 for IMAP open and it seems to work.

    I just tried sending mail to [email protected] and it gives and error as I expected...

    Does anyone else use this combo and how did you get it to send mail outwards?

    Thanks
    Shak
 
****** - Looks like it may be really complex!

Right...looks like the qmail-smtpd isnt running correctly (or at all) I manually booted it and then started to give instructions (as though I was another mailserver)

Code: 
root@lemming bin # ./qmail-smtpd
220 shak.homelinux.org ESMTP
HELO somehost.somewhere.net
250 shak.homelinux.org
MAIL FROM: [email][email protected][/email]
250 ok
RCTP TO: [email][email protected][/email]
502 unimplemented (#5.5.1)

So my relay is ******...I need to add the domain to a file called rcpthosts...unfortuantely I dont have one:

Code: 
root@lemming bin # locate rcpthosts

I need to create one...but havent a clue where it should go...ideas please?

Google my friend :rolleyes: /etc :)
 
As I've told you in the past, there's no 'correct' qmail installation, which is why this is going to be tricky :)

Now, my rcpthosts resides in /var/qmail/control, it's also highly dependant on your setup.

To check the receiving capabilities, you can telnet to the server on port 25 and use the RFC malarky to deliver a message to a user on the system.

When this is all sorted, imap should just 'work'.
 
This is my configuration...I have done what all of the HOWTOs say I need to do.

I'll have to check that SMTP route...as that looks slightly dodgy..

Another thing I think may be the problem is the fact aht my router doesnt seem to be forwarding port 25 telnet correctly *FIXED*
