Certainly on my system, smtp did NOT function when I placed the same command in my inetd as per the tarball instructions but when I installed the Memphis RPM, which uses the ucsi-tcpserver instead, smtp worked. Is there a tarball for qmail that directs you to use and provide installation steps for ucsi-tcpserver. Also, if qmail doesn't support the inetd why does the install instructions say to install it that way? > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Sill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, July 01, 1999 8:59 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Howto > > > "Jacob (Mettavihari)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >I have installed the program ucspi-tcp and > > > >I have installed the line > >from FAQ 5.1 > >in the ined.conf > > > >tcpserver -u 501 -g 500 0 smtp /car/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & > > > >Is ined.conf the system startup file ? > > If you mean "inetd.conf", no, it's the inetd configuration file.
