Re: SMTP connection went away?
+- My mail system seems to be working since the upgrade to hamm/frozen.
+- However, I just tried "telnet localhost 25" and got "connection
+- refused". I had noticed after the upgrade that /etc/inetd.conf had
this
+- line (note the "#"):
+- # smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/in.smtpd (
will be restored by smail postinst)
My /etc/inetd.conf looked the same after I upgraded smail to 3.2.0.92-3
(in bo; I don't know which version I had before) and smtp refused to work.
Additionally, the files /etc/aliases, /etc/smail/config,
/etc/smail/directors, /etc/smail/routers and /etc/smail/transports
were replaced by empty files.
When I changed the line in /etc/inetd.conf to
smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd
smail listened again at port 25 but refused to know neither local users
nor remote machines.
How can I convince smail to accept my existence again?
TIA,
Heiko
