QMAIL Not sending remotely

[centricdesigns]

I am pretty good with unix in many different flavors. However I am used to sendmail and not qmail. If I can't get this stuff to work I am going to switch back to sendmail because I know I can make it work.

My problem is that I can connect remotely to incoming, outgoing mail servers but it won't send a message. No response from server is what I get.

I have my server configured for 4 different virtual hosts but I can't get any of them to work.

The following information is provided.

I can't see where the problem is, and I have probably been looking at this issue way to long because it is starting to not make any sense to me.

Can Someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please copy and paste two more files:

/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
and
the "tcp.smtp" that is specified in the qmail-smtpd/run file

Couple of comments:

1) It is a common pitfall to not allow smtpd enough memory to operate. Your line

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \

should probably use a value nearer to 6000000 just to be sure that it doesn't fall down later. Your 'qmailctl stat' reveals that this is not the problem.

I think you also need to add the line
:allow
to the end of the tcp.smtp file and re-run "qmailctl cdb".
If memory serves, you are only allowing 127./8 to connect to your smtpd by the existing tcp.smtp definition.

Great, I added those items, however same issue. I am wondering if has to do with how my virtual domains and aliases are setup.

I have no idea.

You know they say QMAIL is an out of the box easily configured program but I am not getting anywhere fast.

I am wondering if there is anything else I can check out?

Thanks again for your help...

fatal: unable to bind: address already used

implies that another service (sendmail, postfix, exim) is using port :25

what do you get from command

lsof -Pni | grep -i :25

Okay don't have lsof on my system so I am going to get it installed. Not any luck yet but should have it done soon. If there is another command on FreeBsd that I can check that let me know.

Thanks,

 

[centricdesigns]

You know what, Don't worry about anything further, I am going to go with another solution, this is way too much trouble.

Every step of the way has been a problem. I will just go with what I know.

Thanks for your help and quick responses.

 

[centricdesigns]

Actually I am getting nothing from that command you requested. So I don't know if lsof is working right or I have nothing binding to that port.

 

[centricdesigns]

I got it to work.

I took everything out and started from scratch.

I used the following guide to install it. It works great. Follow all the steps and you should be up and running with very little difficulty!
