pop3d and tcpserver and qmail

2001-01-24 Thread Register, Dadrien

I have looked in the archives everywhere. I am pretty sure I have this setup
correctly, but I can't revieve email from outside networks. I can recieve
email locally, so the qmail daemon seems to work. I'm pretty sure it has
something to do with pop3d and tcpserver. Also, the MX records are setup
correctly.

This is running on RedHat Linux 7.0

here's what I'm invoking for tcpserver.

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
endlessnetworks.com /bin/checkpasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Mailbox 

I do have tcpserver installed, and checkpassword installed.

I need to be able to accept email for endlessnetworks.com. I have qmail
serup correctly... PLEASE!!! I need help bad. Any help is appreciated. Mail
be back here @ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

P.S. This domain has nothing to do with Covad Corp. Thanx.

As far as I know qmail-pop3d only works with Maildir/ and you are using
Mailbox.

About the rest I am not able to say anything. Re-check your paths as I
didn't do that myself :-))

To receive eMails you need a SMTP not a POP3 daemon.

You can start it like
   /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21

Be sure to disable/kill smtp/sendmail in /etc/inetd.conf and and the system
startup scripts.

The best way to start up qmail is using daemontools. See
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#start-qmail
for examples.
