When testing reciving mail as documented in TEST.receive, I follow the steps as
follows but when I log in to the user's account and type the '$mail' command I
receive "no mail for user" :
. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me'' with your
username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
% telnet 127.0.0.1 25

My original message follows:
In testing my senmail config, I follow the steps documented in TEST.deliver with
the following results:
1. When I send to a local user from the root account via the "echo to: me |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" command,
I see the success message in the /var/loq/qmail dir log file. But, when I log
into the machine as that user and type the mail command, the response is " no
mail for user".
2. When I send to my hotmail account via "echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", account I see an empty message in my hotmail
account. But when I send to my account at my employer (at work) from my new
qmail box at home (on separate domain)via the " echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" command, I don't receive the test message from my
lotus notes client (at work).
This is probably the answer to #2 but I'm not sure: I can traceroute from
the qmail box to 'hotmail.com' but the traceroute to 'candle.com' fails to
finish. All I see is a repeated "***".
Prior to running the test, I converted to Maildir from mailbox and
changed the rc file to reflect this as well as run:
%maildirmake $HOME/Maildir AND
%maildirmake $HOME/Maildir in existing user's directory
To the Point, aside from the traceroute issue why can i not see the message in
my user's system acount when I type the '%mail' command? Am I overlooking
something? My ultimate goal is to:
ALLOW POP MAIL CLIENTS (WIN98) TO SEND /RECEIVE MAIL USING THE QMAIL SERVER
I'm getting closer and would appreaciate any help that anyone can give.
