Hey all,

I've setup qmail, and it will send messages locally, but when I telnet to port 25 on localhost, it just hangs. I'm trying to use xinetd and this is what I've got in /etc/xinetd.conf -

"service smtp
{
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}

I'm using tcpserver to start qmail up, and it /should/ start the smtpd daemon up as well - and a ps waux | grep smtpd shows:

root 456 0.0 0.3 1072 56 ? S Nov30 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd

[root@nebula /root]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]^.

...Then it just hangs...

When I installed qmail I also installed daemontools, and ucspi ...

Any idea's would be great, this is driving me insane...
