I've tried SIMS 1.7 and 1.8b8 with no luck on two machines: 300 MHz iBook/OS 8.6/96MB,
and 500 MHz Powerbook G3/OS 9.04/256MB RAM. Static IP. Behind NAT router. Ports
25,110,8010 opened through router to machine. EIMS worked, why not SIMS?
The situation:
SIMS in app mode takes 2 minutes to start and return control to the finder.
Communigator seems to connect and configure it. For SMTP: 50 TCP/IP connections, HTTP
50 TCP/IP connections, port 8010. No rules defined, no routing defined. One user:
Postmaster. All logs = "All Items". All tests conducted from server machine and a
local network machine.
HTTP/POP sessions fails to start:
Communigator displays "Incoming Connection Accepted"
if multiple attempts are made, multiple lines are shown
IP address is NOT displayed
No response to browser or telnet
"receiving request" is NOT displayed
SMTP session fails to start:
Communigator shows connection accepted,
remote IP address IS shown [] and (),
NO response to local or network telnet to port 25, or client.
Communigator does not interrupt any SIMS "lines" once opened.
SIMS does not exit once any connection is accepted - must force-quit.
===============
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sez: "... perhaps it's a DNS problem... what do the logs say?"
The log(singular) says:
SYSTEM Server my.server.com started
SMTP(tcp) Listener created: [0.0.0.0:25], queueSize=8
SMTP Scanning 0 queue files
POP(tcp) Listener created: [0.0.0.0:110], queueSize=8
PWD(tcp) Listener created: [0.0.0.0:106], queueSize=8
HTTP(tcp) Listener created: [0.0.0.0:8010], queueSize=8
No other info appears, though "All Info" is set in "General" and each protocol setup.
TCP/IP: ethernet / manually / fixed IP#/subnet 255.255.255.0 / router #set correctly /
name server(s) set correctly and all functional / starting domain name=my domain /
ending domain name=blank / additional search domains=blank.
My machine's IP (and same MX) address is listed with no-ip.com, which resolves
correctly.
I need more clues as to what SIMS absolutely needs to start and run properly, and
accept and communicate HTTP, POP & SMTP.
Free EIMS runs, but fails while accepting some attachments from Netscape Communicator
on the same machine, and has, of course, no relay authentication. These limitations
tempted me to try SIMS.
It's too bad that "All Info" logging isn't more verbose, or I'd be able to diagnose
this situation myself.
