I am in the process of setting up qmail on a Redhat 6.2 Box 2.2.14-5.0
kernel.
The problem is that I am unable to connect to the SMTP server even via the
loopback address. When I telnet to port 25 I get connected but get a dead
prompt.
I am able to inject mail for qmail to process and this works without any
problems at all for local addresses and external addresses. I am able to
retrieve mail via pop3 with no trouble, I just cant send it the SMTP server.
I have enclosed below the various startup and config files used for this
system.
Any ideas are gratefully recieved.
TIA
Iain Morrison

The above qmail script uses svcscan to start qmail, the files are located in
/var/qmail/supervise - in the directories of qmail-smtpd & qmail-send (both
directories have
a log directory in them, althugh it does not work!)
The run file for qmail-smtpd is:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID='is -u qmaild'
NOFILESGID='id -g qmaild'
MAXSMTPD='cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming'
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGIS" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
2>&1
The qmail-smtpd - log run file is:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail/sm
tpd
The run file for qmail-send:
#!/bin/sh
exec /var/qmail/rc
The qmail-send - log run file is:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t
/var/log/qmail

After qmail has supposedly started up I have the following processes
running:
