When installing smail package, the only remaining package in hamm dist was 3.2.0.100-1, so I installed thinking it had solved previous problems with /etc/inetd.conf file. Well, the smtp line in /etc/inetd.conf is *not* commented out, and I still get the same (?) message that fetchmail sees the mail in my ISP mailbox, tries to retrieve it and smtp connection is refused. I don't have any network cards and no local networks (single PC box), only connected to the ISP. I can telnet from VC to localhost. The second problem is that the mail from root(while installing the package - the test message) to localhost (my regular username is where all the postmaster mail should go) is not delivered with the message: #runq: /etc/smail/config: parse error: unexpected end of attribute This message pops up on my VC where I'm logged as a root every time runq attempts to send it... Is this my fault or has somebody else encountered a similar problem(s)? BTW, my answers to smailconfig when first installing: 1-internet site (SMTP via TCP/IP) 2-visible name: inforamp.net 3-other visible names: none 4-smarthost: inforamp.net 5-use inforamp.net for all mail that doesn't have to be delivered locally 6-postmaster mail to dnaden 7-send a message to local address: yes 8-use inetd instead of the smtp daemon
Note that I can ftp to the Net thru the PPP connection without a problem. Can i fix this somehow? Thanks again Damir -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
