Qmail --> cannot send mail to localhost

[savey]

Please help, I'm sure that my qmail-send, qmail-smtpd, and qmail-pop3d had already run.
I've tried to send outgoing email to yahoo.com and it works.
But when I try to send email to user in localhost (user@localhost, root@localhost, etc), the mail can't be delivered.. in the queue always.

When I tried to retrieve mail via pop3, the output is below

# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to Blabla.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <9128.1127325892@Blabla.com>
user savey
+OK
pass asdfg
+OK
list
+OK
.


Wat's going on? I have no idea where the problem is

Is 'localhost' listed in your /var/qmail/controls/locals file?

Check out [url]http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html[/url] and [url]http://www.qmailrocks.org/[/url] for more than you'd ever want to know about qMail..

Hope this helps!

From Section 3.3 of lifewithqmail.org:
=========================================
3.3. Multiple host names

If your system is known by more than one name, e.g., all addresses of the form user@host1.example.com can also be written as user@example.com or user@mail.example.com, then you need to tell qmail this so it'll know which addresses it should deliver locally and which messages it should accept from remote systems.

To do this, just add all of the names to two control files:

* rcpthosts, which tells qmail-smtpd to accept mail addressed to these hosts, and
* locals, which tells qmail-send that addresses on these hosts are to be delivered locally.

Send qmail-send a HUP (hangup) signal to tell it to reread locals. If you have qmailctl, you can do:

qmailctl reload
=========================================

So, if you want to send to "user@localhost", you'll need to have "localhost" in the locals file..

In my install (and, I'll preface this by saying I am not a qmail expert, and I modeled my install from an install from someone who knows far more than I), I have (sanitized):

localhost
domain.tld
mail.domain.tld
hostname.domain.tld

and it works like a charm.

Again, do read through the lifewithqmail.org site and the qmailrocks.org pages; I'd suggest the former over the later, though.. easier reading for me..

Hope this helps..

Check the permissions of /home/savey/Maildir -- qmail is smart enough to check that other people can't read your mail.. I don't use maildirs, but as I understand they should be chmod 700, and mail folders as chmod 600.. be sure this is correct..

Also, when you've made config changes, be sure to restart/kill -sighup the server to apply your changes..

Any change?

Hi.. SnarlCat

I've changed with chmod the Maildir

[SnarlCat]

hm... so I think this is where I defer you to the qmail mailing list (http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#support); you've reached the end of my qmail abilities -- best of luck, and if you think of it when you get it solved, please update us here...

qMail took me a few tries to get working, and as much of a pain in the butt this is now, it'll be worth it when you get it working, so do keep with it and get it solved!

Thanks, and good luck!
