Hello everyone.

I have a question that is driving me nuts...

I am trying to configure listserv on a Solaris box to work with qmail. Here
is what I've tried so far:
-------------------------------------------------
etting listserv to talk to qmail:

from the lsoft listserv archives: ------------------------------------------
----------------
Don't bother using LISTSERV's makefile for managing your aliases (not
even if you use Sendmail -- it's easier to handle with an editor).  On
qmail, just put lsv_amin into .qmail-default so that *all* mail not for
a specific user of the system goes to LISTSERV.  That way you don't have
to deal with aliases at all -- if you make a new list, it is online
immediately.  This also means that the probe feature will work.  i.e. the
contents of .qmail_default:
        |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/lsv_amin -t "$LOCAL"
You will also need to put into ~listserv/.qmail:
        |/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/lsv_amin -t listserv
That's it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------

I did exactly that (but changing directory names to match our system. But
it seems that listserv still was not delivering mail.  I noticed I had
build up of automatically generated mail messages in the spool.  So I
stopped and restarted listserv to see if that would clear the problem
(grabbing at straws...).  Anyway, I got the following message when I
restarted:

-------------------- from the terminal --------------------------------

I emailed listserv support explaining the situation.  The email me back
saying:

---------------From Lsoft support-----------------------------------------
>5 Oct 2000 15:16:21 >>> Error X'00B00433' enqueuing mail for delivery <<<
>5 Oct 2000 15:16:21  -> Severity: Error

>5 Oct 2000 15:16:21  -> strerror: Transport endpoint is not connected

This is a protocol error.  "I tried to connect to the SMTP server,
and the socket died on me".  Assuming you're using the localhost for
delivery, it's either a qmail problem or a protocol problem.

Does anyone else have any advice?  Thanks for any and all help.
