Happy new year, everybody! I'm running a qpsmtpd 0.32-4 on an otherwise Debian Sarge box, and I've noted a problem, I don't know if this is me, is a problem with the package version I'm using, or is the desired behaviour. I hope someone (Devin?) can clarify: The problem I'm seeing is that the qmail package binds something to port 25 before qpsmtpd gets the chance, so by just installing those, it hasn't worked for me. A temporary workaround for me has been to stop qmail, then restart qpsmtpd and start qmail. Then, qpsmtpd will answer on port 25, and everything Just Works. A more permanent workaround is to reorder the rc2.d scripts. Now, it looks like this: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2006-11-21 18:49 S20qmail -> ../init.d/qmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-11-21 20:12 S20qpsmtpd -> ../init.d/qpsmtpd which results in qmail being run before qpsmtpd. Perhaps qpsmtpd could be S19qpsmtpd? All this feel very workaroundish to me, but this is the situation as far as I understand it. Advice from people with deeper understanding would be appreciated.
