What script are you using to start qmail-smtpd? What I'm getting at: are you putting tcpserver in the background in your run script? Chris
Log Entry question
In my log file (/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd) I have files named similarly to: @40003b26027a37dfa084.s These files contain thousands of entries similar to : @40003b262932196daa9c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used I don't know what this is and I've got 25MB of log files with these entries.

This might be sendmail, something you have configured in inetd.conf, or another instance of tcpserver you've already started on port 25. It's also possible that your SMTP run script puts tcpserver in the background, causing supervise to continually restart it. Chris PGP signature
RE: Log Entry question
a) They are the timestamp in tai64 format b) you are probably running another MTA or another instance of Qmail on por 25. c) 25 Megs of logs isn't very bad...don't sweat it. Just kill whatever's on port 25. maybe a reboot will fix it if you don't know how to do that. -davidu -Original Message- From: Drew Hawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 4:22 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Log Entry question In my log file (/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd) I have files named similarly to: @40003b26027a37dfa084.s These files contain thousands of entries similar to : @40003b262932196daa9c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used I don't know what this is and I've got 25MB of log files with these entries.

Thanks. I'll check it out. How can I decode the tai64 format? I can't tell when this problem is still occurring. -Original Message- From: David U.

Places to look include inetd.conf or xinetd.conf. Most likely you forgot to kill the copy of sendmail you have running on your system is this is your first attempt at starting qmail or you have an old tcpserver process running qmail on that port which was never killed correctly.

RE: Log Entry question
Sendmail is not running. When I ps-aux | grep tcpserver I get: qmaild 612 0.0 0.0 11520 ?SW 09:23 0:00 [tcpserver] Is this normal? I've commented out pretty much everything in inetd.conf. Only telnet is currently running from here. -Original Message- From: Nick (Keith) Fish [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 12:45 PM To: Drew Hawn; Qmail Mailing List Subject: Re: Log Entry question Drew Hawn wrote: In my log file (/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd) I have files named similarly to: @40003b26027a37dfa084.s These files contain thousands of entries similar to : @40003b262932196daa9c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used I don't know what this is and I've got 25MB of log files with these entries.
