THIS MAY BE RELATED TO MY LAST QUESTION:

I've been having some problems getting qmail to run properly. It won't deliver to anything outside of my local network. One thing I just noticed that may be a problem is the running processes. Particularly: how many & who owns them. Output from ps waux | grep qmail is:

root 1055 0.0 0.0 3872 396 ? S 19:03 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd

I installed qmail & qmail-pop3d per Dave Sill's Life with QMail. I installed password per the instructions on DJB's site.

As I said, I can't get mail to deliver outside my local network. My queue looks like this:

messages in queue: 6
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
20 Sep 2010 01:46:51 GMT #7606905 542 <>
remote alpine-count@docserver.cac.washington.edu

19 Sep 2010 22:24:12 GMT #7610837 213 <papa@cuttinej.ath.cx>
remote c_johnsonsr@yahoo.com

And just for grins, my tcp.smtp looks like this:

127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
cuttinej.ath.cx:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""

Yeah. I know. It's been a long time. I don't have a good reference & I'm shooting in the dark sometimes. I've ordered The QMail Handbook (again). In the mean time, can anyone help me try to sort this out, please? I really need some help.

Thanks,

Ed
