The /var/log/qmail/ log file would tell us more about why a particular user account couldn't be created, as smtpd should be working. However: tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used Shows us that it hasn't started up correctly. Here's how to correct that: cd /service/qmail-smtpd # or whatever that directory is on your box touch down svc -d . lsof -n -i:25 You shouldn't have anything bound to port 25. If you do, kill it off. Most likely you have sendmail on your machine and should look into how to turn it off. You might be able to do the following: /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop and look into how to stop it from restarting. Then after that: ./run and see if it startup. If it can: rm down svc -u . Chris
