Very weird qmail behaviour ...
Hi, I'm currently trying to get qmail working on a small LAN (10 pc's). I've set up smtp and qmail-pop3d. The problem is the following : - just after booting, I do a 'ps aux' and no qmail process shows up...however, when telneting from another pc on ports 25 and 110 I do get a response from qmail. But there's nothing in the targeted Maildir. - if I stop qmail and restart it, and do a 'ps aux' the qmail processes are present...and I find the mails I telneted in the right maildirs. Thanks for any advice, Pierre ** In KPMG's opinion, non-encrypted communication via the Internet is not to be considered secure.

That means your tcpserver processes are running (or qmail-smtpd and pop3d from inetd), but qmail isn't. - if I stop qmail and restart it, and do a 'ps aux' the qmail processes are present...and I find the mails I telneted in the right maildirs. That makes perfect sense if qmail wasn't running at first. Greetz, Peter.

But QMAIL still insists taking addresses like "Mail me" or "RCPT him" and adding the local domain. Have a look at the man-pages. If anybody knows better, s/he is welcome.
