Sounds like your queue is corrupt. Try running qmail-qsanity or
queuefix from www.qmail.org.

No, IDENT isn't mandatory. If you don't run a daemon, that information 
will be left out of the Received fields of messages that pass through
your system.

Muchos "warning: trouble opening remote/local"...

2000-07-06 Thread Hajime Lucky Okada
Hello!

Would you please give me advice for some questions?

-
1. Now I'm confused with following message in the maillog.

"qmail: 962478354.405231 warning: trouble opening local/22/1105816; will try again 
later"

Many massage like this are appearing in the log forever
What is occurring and how to eliminate them?
(Mail of id "1105816" is of when testing and should have been dead..)

-
2. What means (#x.x.x) number in the maillog?

I encounter it sometimes like..
"delivery 10: deferral: connected_to_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/"

What means "(#4.4.2)" and where can I look up them?


-
3. About IDENT processing from smtp

I can see following header in a testing mail from my qmail server to
another my account.

"from host.mydoman (IDENT:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [a.b.c.d]) by host.destination 
(8.9.3/8.7.1) with
SMTP id BAA for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Wed, 5 Jul 2000 01:44:01 -0600"

As shown above, I allow IDENT access to the server now, but I suspect it.
because I don't see the header with IDENT in another mail not from my
server.

Essentially, qmail smtp daemon is necessary (mandatory) for IDENT connection?  And if 
I prohibit it,
what would happen?


Thank you in advance.
Jaime (^o^)
