I found reference to this problem at www.qmailrocks.com when I was setting up my qmail server. Basically it comes down to trying to get every single aspect of any email services to stop. The qmailrocks.com articles indicate that while this is possible, it's probably faster just to reboot the server. In my case this did the trick. They do make a point that you "shouldn't" have to restart a Linux server, but in this particular case it's apparently easier/quicker.
I'm checking out the link you sent - thanks for it.

The answer to your issue is here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=121455 Now I got rid of that error...and qmail isnt sending again. Im too young for grey hair. It sent 3 messages and inexplicably quit. The qmail-send logs showed the 3 being sent, and registers the other new messages but never sends them. ps -e shows qmail-smtpd isn't running, but when I try to run it I get tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used. Port 25 is in use but by what I don't know....*cry* at least I know my PHP script works... > > Shawn > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Nick W > Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 3:18 PM > To: CLUG General > Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Sendmail & PHP > > > Update...its working, and Im getting flooded with my test mails now.
