Receiving Problems
Dear People, I had been asked to setup alternate mail servers and test for the reliability of different MTA's. This exercise will led us to have a better understanding of mail server software and choose a final MTA to use as default. We are trying to eliminate Sendmail from our campus network. The MTA that we are comparing are the following: courier-mta sendmail qmail postfix exim I was choose to work with qmail and my experience is with sendmail. No to the point of this message. I already installed qmail on a small Ultra-5 Sparc box running Solaris 8 (01/01). I was required to configure qmail to put mail messages in the standard sendmail mbox format on /var/mail (or /var/spool/mail) and to give support to .forward and /etc/aliases. So for this reason I also installed the fastforward and dot-forward packages. My qmail server is already running and configured, to some extent. I run qmail using tcpserver and daemontools. I can send email locally and remotely without any problem. My only problem is recieving messages. If I try to connect with telnet to port 25 it barfs with a "Connection closed by foreign host." message and if a send a message from another system never arrives. The remote MTA report's the following when trying to send a message to my qmail server: (connect to devnull.ece.uprm.edu[136.145.57.11]: server dropped connection) Any ideas?
