I have installed qmail for the first time and the install has gone extremely
smooth until now. I have run into two problems that I can't seem to solve and
have not been able to find solutions on the list.
My network currently consists of RedHat Linux 6.2 running a P90 server with 64
MB of RAM. This server does not currently have any access to the Internet
since it is being setup for testing purposes only. /etc/resolv.conf is empty
and there is no default gateway set.
The first problem I am having is that I cannot telnet to port 25 on the
server. I will receive the message Connected to 127.0.0.1 Escape Character is
^]. Then, I do not receive any more messages and end up killing the process.
SMTP is defined as being on port 25/tcp in the /etc/services file. Also, I
was able to complete the steps outlined in TEST.delinver and the e-mail was
delivered correctly from what I could tell.
The second problem I have run into is with the pop3 protocol. Again, I was
able to complete the test locally as outlined in Life with qmail. In this
case, I am able to telnet to port 110 on the server without any problems, but
e-mail clients such as Star Office, Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora will
not connect. Eudora, prompts for my password and then returns an error
message stating "Connection Timed Out (10060).
Port 110 is defined as pop3 in the /etc/services file and is commented out of
the /etc/inetd.conf file. I am using tcpserver for the pop3 connection and I
am starting it from the qmail startup script.
Following are the commands that I am issuing to tcpserver
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.monea.org
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
