I thought you were trying to pop mail? Are you having trouble sending mail or fetching mail with pop3? If the former, please use 'telnet' to connect to your smtp server and attempt to send an email.

No virtual domains. there are no virtualdomains, therefore, none of these domains are being handled by vpopmail. if they are supposed to be handled by vpopmail, then remove the domains from the locals file, put them in the virtualdomains file like so: example.com:example.com example.org:example.org example.net:example.net and send qmail-send a HUP signal.

Re: [vchkpw] vdeldomain issue
Hi yep. i agree, but that means "no vpopmaild for you". I was very happy wirting an ASP app to use it. Beside this, i have three versions of vpopmail: vpopmail-latest-cvs vpopmail-5.5.3 vpopmail-5.4.10 and the three versions seems to chmod files properly using chmod(tmpbuf1, VPOPMAIL_QMAIL_MODE ) So i guess the problem is elsewhere. Anyway, i do not see a bug report about this so it seems it is something related to my configuration.

[vchkpw] qmail control/locals #5.4.6
Hi list. Please help. During mail delivery i've error: "Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6") Find this error in qmail-remote.c source: - ... prefme = 10; for (i = 0;i < ip.len;++i) if (ipme_is(&ip.ix[i].ip)) if (ip.ix[i].pref < prefme) prefme = ip.ix[i].pref; if (relayhost) prefme = 30; if (flagallaliases) prefme = 50; for (i = 0;i < ip.len;++i) if (ip.ix[i].pref < prefme) break; if (i >= ip.len) perm_ambigmx(); /* The message */ ... #tcpdump -i lo0 -tn IP 10.0.0.6.63485 > 10.0.0.6.53: 64505+ ANY? .

I can't find my error, please help. Regards, Anton

All mail was rejected with the error: "421 unable to read controls" After a quick search in the net i solved it chmodding /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. But i was yet to discover what could cause this , as this box was running smoothly for months. The last think i did was add and delete a domain via popmaild. So today i tried again. Logged to the server via popmaild add_domain sample.com list_domains del_domain sample.com and bang...the server stops receiving mail. bash-3.00$ telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25 Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx... Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Escape character is '^]'. 421 unable to read controls (#4.3.0) vpopmail version is : 5.5.3 (downloaded from http://www.inter7.com/vhostadmin) I think you want to stay in the 5.4.x-tree, if you want to run it on a production-system and keep your sanity.
