Hmmm that is really interesting as I know that running qmail or even sendmail should open up port 25 and that isn't even listed there:
Here is my netstat tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32768 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:32769 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN Showing all the open ports on my Redhat box. I would also add this to the end of your run script 2>&1, so it would look like this #!/bin/sh env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mnw.net \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 Regards, Rob G [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin L Aleshire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vchkpw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 2:54 PM Subject: RE: [vchkpw] starting vpop gives error this is the response that i get from that command, it doesn't really list anything specific [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/rc3.d# netstat -na | grep LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 216.31.98.16:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN is there any other way to find out what it is? > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 1:48 PM > To: Vchkpw > Subject: Re: [vchkpw] starting vpop gives error > > > Do a netstat -na | grep LISTEN and see if anything else is > listening on port > 110 as that is what is holding the address open. > > Regards, > Rob G > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kevin L Aleshire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Vchkpw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2003 2:42 PM > Subject: [vchkpw] starting vpop gives error > > > when i try to run the vpop script i get this error message "tcpserver: > fatal: unable to bind: address already used" > > below is the script that i'm using. > > #!/bin/sh > env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ > tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \ > /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mnw.net \ > /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & > > When i do a "netstat -a | grep pop" this is the response that i get back > > tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN > > can someone help me find out when service is running this, or am > i going at > this problem that wrong way? > > Thanks in advance > > > >
