Re: [vchkpw] can not get any mail

[Negative Nine]

Well, another stupid error on my behalf.....I forgot to change my iptable rules to allow access to port 25 from outside my network. I need some sleep now. *zzzz*     Author: Jonas Pasche  Date:   03-12-03 19:32 Subject:   Re: [vchkpw] can not get any mail Hi Scott, > if you are saying i need to kill qmail-send. No; Rick told you to send a HUP. Anyway, you need to send a HUP to _qmail-smtpd_, not qmail-send, as the rcpthosts file is read by qmail-smtpd, not qmail-send. vpopmail normally does this automatically, but obviously did not in your case. > okay, i tried killall and it > did not kill it. i killed it with -9 and it restarted again a couple of > seconds later.

You have logs, so there's no need to "it seems like". Your test mail comes from the same domain that makes trouble, so qmail cannot send a bounce and will deliver it to the postmaster. If the postmaster address points to this address, too, you'll have a triple bounce, and qmail will discard it as it doesn't find a valid address to deliver the mail or a bounce message. > I did also notice that it > says > > uid 500 for one and 510 for the other.

The first message is generated by UID 500, which is propably the qmail-smtpd user. The second message is generated by UID, which is probably the qmail-queue user. Check your /etc/passwd to be sure.
