Ignorance -- complete, total, and abject -- of the 'right' way to do things. I walked through the INSTALL instructions for qmail but they started to talk about stuff going in inetd.conf. Since I'm not using inetd but xinetd, I did a web search and found the incantation that I posted earlier which is in my xinetd.d/smtp file:
service smtp
{
instances = 20
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = qmaild
# server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
server = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd -x/etc/tcp.smptp.cdb
}
I really have no idea what is really going on with all the various daemons that touch mail-related packets, so if I've done the wrong thing I appreciate any advice. But deep down I'm operating at the level of, "all I want to do is have a mail server that I can use to run Mailman for a couple of small lists" and not at the level of, "I really want to understand all the details because I enjoy that stuff."
