Hi all I have setup a new smtp/pop3 server and ran into some issues. When you send a mail via telnet mail is accepted and then ends up in /var/spool/mqueue and stays there. the problem is that they remain in this folder and don't move to /var/spool/mail/<user name> versions Centos 5 220 w2200a.example.co.uk ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:13:47 GMT and dovecot dovecot appears to be working connect to root's mail box and you can see the mail, but if you looks at users mail there isn't any as it's all in the /var/spool/mqueue. my config has been setup as http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch21_:_Confi guring_Linux_Mail_Servers here's a handful of commands I have used trying to find out what's going on. # praliases # pgrep sendmail # nslookup -query="MX" domainname.co.uk # netstat -an | grep :25 | grep tcp # netstat -a | egrep -i 'pop|imap' # sendmail -bv user # sendmail -bt -d0.1 </dev/null () # /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m # /usr/sbin/sendmail -L sm-mta -bd -q1h # grep ^M /etc/mail/sendmail.cf # ps aux | grep sendmail # mailstats -c # tail -f /var/log/maillog i have also been using mutt to view users test mail. /var/log/maillog Oct 29 22:09:17 w2200a sendmail[10205]: l9P1ChNr008040: timeout waiting for input from w2200a.example.co.uk during client greeting Oct 29 22:09:17 w2200a sendmail[10205]: l9P1ChNr008040: to=<root@w2200a>, delay=4+19:01:31, xdelay=00:05:00, mailer=local, pri=9820028, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with w2200a.example.co.uk Regards Sam No virus found in this outgoing message.
