Problem installing qmail.
I have installed qmail-1.03. I am able to send and receive mails locally. However, I am not able to send or receive mails from anywhere else. My control files are as follows: defaultdomain: king.ac.uk helohost: bob.king.ac.uk locals: localhost r341-02.king.ac.uk me: r341-02.king.ac.uk plusdomain: ac.uk rcpthosts: king.ac.uk brunel.ac.uk vsnl.net.in hotmail.com ernet.in ac.uk edu smtproutes: :bob.king.ac.uk --- I have the following environment variables set for user chitta: setenv MAILDIR .qmail setenv MAILHOST king.ac.uk setenv MAILUSER c.mandal setenv QMAILINJECT f --- The following lines are present in my /etc/inetd.conf: linuxconf stream tcp wait root /bin/linuxconf linuxconf --http smtpstream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd qmqpstream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qmqpd pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup r341-02.king.ac.uk /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir --- I would like my linux box to be able to directly connect to any other host willing to accept connections (including my mailhost). I would also like to receive mail directly from a number of other host trying to connect to my m/c (including my bob, which is unlikely, and so I shall have to use pop mail). I really need some help to get qmail working properly on my m/c. Thanks, Chitta
