When you get 'connection closed by foreign host' that means that your daemon program (tcpserver or inetd) is not configured properly. You'll have to double check your tcpserver init script or inetd.conf file for errors. Brent Rupak Joshi wrote: Hello All, I install the qmail in my

You have to change your qmail init script by adding a pipe to your dmail program. It would look something like this: qmail-lspawn |dmail Brent Steve Quezadas wrote: I am trying to configure dmail (part of WU imap-utils set of utilities) so that I can have qmail deliver in mbx format

mbox is just qmail's name for Mailbox. Really they are both the same thing, one large text file. You should be able to plug it into your new user directory, make a symbolic link to the file in /var/spool/mail and you should be really to accept mail again. Brent Aaron Seelye wrote: Hello,

The startup scripts for Mandrake (and RedHat, SuSE for that matter) are all in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ . You have to place the tcpserver init script in that directory. My own script (tcpserver) looks like this: --- #!/bin/sh # tcpserver startup script export

Mandrake happens to be a very good Linux distribution based on RedHat, which runs on the majority of Linux powered servers. The startup scripts are all found in /etc/rc.d/init.d and this is uniform on most Linux distributions. The only different one is Debian which the startup scripts are
