    I am trying to run though the qmailrocks setup on a centos 5.5 and I am running into an issue when trying to telnet to port 25:
    telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    Connection closed by foreign host.

    Everything else seems to be working (telnet to 110), and I turned off the firewall entirely, but I still cannot telnet to port 25. I also get a blank error within squirrelmail when attempting to send mail out (ERROR:
    Message not sent. Server replied: ).

    I apologize for not going directly to the qmailrocks forum, but they are currently closed down (due to lack of funds). I also am a newbie, so I apologize for the lack of needed information. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know what information you would need.

    Thank you in advance :)

    Are there any errors in your mail log?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    my outputs are as follows:

    I couldn't find the mail logs, not sure where they would be?
    [root@chris-primary doc]# locate mail.log
    [root@chris-primary doc]#


    Thank you

    I found that an error pointed to the softlimit, made the following change:
    exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 50000000
    to the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file
    and now I can telnet to port 25

    Now I am having an authentication error, but at least I am closer now and I think that I can find leads to the auth error in qmail (Message not sent. Server replied:

    Authentication failed
    535 authorization failed (#5.7.0))

    The mail log should be somewhere in the /var/log directory.
