It seems that I'll have a lot of idle qmail-smtpd processes, and when I get to a certain amount of qmail-smtpd procs running, it allows a connection to be made to port 25, BUT, it doesn't send or recieve data. Here's my qmail-smtpd line. /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 21 -g 20 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 & Any ideas?
