Everytime I telnet to my SMTP port (wether using the loopback IP or the
public IP), I get the "connection closed by foreign host" error message.
when I check my maillog, the following is displayed:
Nov 25 10:46:13 localhost smtpd: 975120373.062916 tcpserver: status: 1/20
Nov 25 10:46:13 localhost smtpd: 975120373.063413 tcpserver: pid 17710 from
CLIENT's_IP
Nov 25 10:46:13 localhost smtpd: 975120373.096366 tcpserver: ok 17710
:SERVER's_IP:25 :CLIENT's_IP::1672
Nov 25 10:46:13 localhost smtpd: 975120373.388277 tcpserver: end 17710
status 256
Nov 25 10:46:13 localhost smtpd: 975120373.388740 tcpserver: status: 0/20
if you will notice, the server accepts the connection and drops it right
away.
I've also been receiving a lot of bounce mails. It says that "there's no
mailbox by that name". I am sure that I created those mailboxes so I
assumed it gives out that error because my SMTP port drops connection.
Bounce mails originate from test mail I send to mailboxes in my server using
the "echo to: mailbox_name | /qmail/path/qmail-inject" command.
ps -auxww |grep qmail yields:
