Follow up on qmail + SMTP AUTH + TLS

Posted on 7/20/2004 by Mike

To answer Bart’s question about that Incredibly Informative Error Message from qmail, here’s how I got it working:

The file /var/qmail/bin/config-sanity-check checks that your configuration is setup right. If not it simply prints Some error detected, sleeping for 30 seconds for safety.

Since I was trying to get this running on port 527 I needed an entry in /etc/services for that port. Some newer OS’s have an entry. The command getent services 527 should return something.

There also could be something else weird. Try searching through all the start up and config files.

    SOLVED: my gentoo install din’t have the /etc/services file so the scripts couldn’t convert ‘smtp’ to ’25′.so i emerged the latest ‘baseconfig’ version 1.10.1-r2
