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'.

Thats seems to be the problem...however now I can only get it to run when I run that program...the qmail-smtpd one and that occupies a term. Noz...how do you run int in the bg?

Shak
 
With a horifically complex array of scripts. You could always just add & to the end of the command :)
 
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*

Argh!

Im going to reinstall this :( :mad:

It just queues the messages now...and thats it.

Grr!

Shak
 
w00t!

It now gets the received mail BUT....doesnt deliver it to the user's mailbox, just gives it to the mail queue....off to google :)
