Please quote the original message when you reply. I usually reply to 50-100 messages every day and this does *not* include the work-related email traffic I get. It so happens, mostly because of my aversion to qmail, that I remember the original post, but you can't expect everyone to remember everything about the original post without any sort of context. How did you start qmail-smtpd? It's not supposed to work just by running the binary as root. The qmail documentation explains how you can start it with tcpserver, for example. > I think I'm missing something, but what? > Is there some other thing that should I do? Yes, you are indeed missing something. The best way to find out what you are missing is to read carefully the qmail installation guide or one of the dozens of online tutorials about setting up qmail, i.e.: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ Your question is answered in the qmail FAQ too: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq.html http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd I hope this helps, - Giorgos
