Hi, First of all, please reply directly to me, as I am not subscribed to the list. My email is kris@grinz.com . I was running 4.1R and CVSUP'd my ports and the OS to 4.2STABLE. I dont know if the upgrade to 4.2 caused the prob or something else.. anyway, here is "the deal". I was running qmail and it worked fine until the upgrade via cvsup to 4.2stable. I thought the prob was qmail so I switched to Postfix. The guy that set it up for me is Freebsd/postfix guru so I know its set up right. Anyway, The actual problem is that, as any user on the command line, type "mail [user]" to email yourself, well, the message doesn't go anywhere... nothing added to /var/log/maillog, nothing in the postfix queue, nothing anywhere. Incoming mail is fine so my POP users are not affected, since they do not use this box as their SMTP server. When mail comes in, it gets logged in /var/log/maillog and shows postfix/smtpd, postfix/cleanup, and then postfix/qmgr, and finally postfix/local.. so I know postfix isn't the problem - - so it must be a local config problem within the box/OS itself. So far, the only suggestion was for me to change /etc/sshd/sshd_config to UseLogin yes, which someone else said that fixed the same problem for them. Unfortunately, that change didn't fix my problem. Sorry I have not included any more information. I do not know how to troubleshoot this problem and do not know what info I need to send this mailing list in order to help you help me. Though I'm not really a newbie in the unix world, I guess I am still sort of a FreeBSD newbie. Let me know what info would be helpful and I will provide.
