Re: Problems switching from tcpserver to tcpsvd

Dear sir,
          I had added the -u qmaild:nofiles option in the run file , 
But the problem still persists , its repeatedly asking for password
when i configure the account in outlook express and tried sending
mails.

I too think that the following lines exit 1
   /Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/qmail-smtpd \
   /Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/checkpassword /bin/true 2>&1

Do you know some other means how would i log the smtp conversation messages.

run file is provided below:

exec tcpsvd -vv -t1800 \
   -c100 -C'10:421 per host concurrency limit reached\r\n' \
   -i/Programs/Qmail/1.03/etc/smtp \
   -u qmaild:nofiles 202.144.28.164 25 \
   /Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/qmail-smtpd \
   /Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/checkpassword /bin/true 2>&1


Smtp logs are provided below:

2005-03-06_19:04:13.54906 tcpsvd: info: listening on
202.144.28.164:25, uid 1003, gid 103, starting.

2005-03-06_19:05:25.09916 tcpsvd: info: end 879 exit 1
