Re: Error deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
Eddy, qmail delivers mail as the user it is delivering to (assuming a standard install). So the recipient of the mail has to A.) have permissions to get to and write into the Maildir, and B.) The Maildir and its subdirectories need to exist. You should be able to use ls -l to determine if the ownership and permissions are correct on the homedirectory and Maildir in question. If the Maildir doesn't exist, create it. If you can't figure it out, we will need more information, like logfiles, an ls -lR of the user's home directory, etc. Jamin On Thu, 5 Jul 2001, eddy wrote: I have a problem with qmail, and make me cannot send or receive mail, and it show error messages like this : delivery 1: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ Can anyone help me to fix it out Thanks Regards, Eddy

Probably a typo, since there was obviously some data for patch to work on. If it weren't, I may guess wrong -pnum. No, the output clearly shows that qmail-smtpd.c was correctly found, so -p problems don't factor into this. My guess is that Charrua applied another patch before this one that inserted a whole bunch of stuff at the top of qmail-smtpd.c, thus throwing this patch off. Either that, or he typo'd again and accidentally blanked qmail-smtpd.c (it's happened to me before 8-). Charrua, your best bet is to delete the whole source tree and unpack it again.

Re: Error 4.4.1
From: "Dr. Georg Bohnert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] there are to error messages in the log files: error message1: could not establish smtp connection (#4.4.1) The error message means what it says: qmail is unable to establish a TCP connection with the server at the receiving end. Try to telnet to the SMTP port of the server at the receiving end: telnet mailserver.domain.com 25 You should see an SMTP greeting from the other server. If you receive some sort of time out error, and you cannot connect to the receiving server, there is something "wrong" with the network: check routing possible filtering/firewalling of packets. If you can reach port 25 of the receiving server, read on... error message2: could not bind, address already in use? This leads me to believe that your qmail cannot open the socket on port 25 of your host to start listening on it. See the posts from other listmembers.

Re: Error 4.4.1
From: "Dr. Georg Bohnert" [EMAIL PROTECTED] there are to error messages in the log files: error message1: could not establish smtp connection (#4.4.1) you are right, i can get no telnet and also no smtp connection to the mail server but ftp works quite well. do you think that the firewall on the mx-server in our LAN is responsiple for this behaviour? Is it possible to configure qmail to relay mail to the mx-server and not any further? the command netstat -nlp indicates that qmail-tcpserver is listening on port 25 (sendmail is removed via Yast) Since you are able to ftp to the machine, routing appears to be ok between the two machines, and that indeed something is filtering out your connection attempts. Your best bet would be to contact the person in charge of the firewall and als him to change the config. It's perfectly possible to have qmail relay to another server. Note that - since there is some packet filtering going on on your network - you may also have to ask the firewall guy to make sure that your qmail server's port 25 is accessible to any other server you want connecting to your system. From what I understand, qmail is running correctly on your system. You could try connecting to it via telnet localhost 25, or from a computer on the same LAN just to make sure. -Filip

RE: Error 451
Why would you not want to send a 451? Here's two reasons: 1) Why send a 451 back to a broken MTA who's sending you emails with bare newlines? It's very unlikely that someone is going to fix their MTA while the email destined to you is still in the queue so it would get fixed before the final retry. So switch it to a 553 just to keep the other MTA from bothering you again. 2) Some broken MTAs like Microsoft's SMTP Service will ignore that 451 when it is a newline failure and hit your server as often as the data connection between the two will allow. On a big pipe, this can really kill your connection. I have edited my qmail-smtpd.c to replace the 451 with a 553 for the smtplf issue.

RE: Error: Deferred: Connection refused
I have a problem with qmail. A mail sent through the qmail-smtp to a local user is delivered properly, but when I send the same mail through another smtp server I get this error message: - The following addresses had permanent fatal errors - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Transcript of session follows - [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Deferred: Connection refused by mydomain.com. First, let me repeat what I heard you say, to make sure we're on the same page. You have qmail running on 'mydomain.com' (whatever that resolves to.) When logged into 'mydomain.com', you can send mail to another user just fine. When other machines try to deliver mail to 'mydomain.com', however, they get the above error. This implies that qmail-smtpd is not running and/or not listening correctly on port 25. The "Connection refused" message usually means exactly that. You can test this theory by typing 'telnet mydomain.com 25' and seeing if the connection is accepted or rejected. If the connection is truly rejected, then find out why. Is qmail-smtpd running (ps -auxwww | grep qmail-smtpd). If so, is it listening to port 25 (look at the tcpserver command line, use 'lsof', or possibly 'netstat')? -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: error msg 4.3.0 after a reboot
Yes, I did run into that problem. I increased the limit and qmail started working fine, until I rebooted the machine (accidentally hit the power switch :-) It's odd that qmail will work after I restart it manually. The only difference between it starting during the bootup scripts, and when I start it manually, is that it's tied to a terminal when I start it manually. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it though. Thank you, Steve --- "Russell P.
