SMTP down

[marcored]

I've qmail on my red hat 7.1 but i'm not able to send or receive mail due to an smtp error. i've tried to telnet localhost 25 but i'm not able to connect the host.How can i resolve this?

thanks :confused:

If you can't telnet to port 25 from localhost, it means the daemon isn't bound to the port. Are you running qmail as a standalone daemon, or from a superserver? If the former, make sure it's running. Start it, then make sure it shows up on "ps", and check its log file for errors. If the latter, make sure your superserver is running, make sure it's configured correctly, and after it starts up, check the logs for errors.
