Hi

I have upgraded my smail to smail+term from termify0.3
I have the two unrelated problems
1. when an non super user mail the mail is not delivered and
when using the -v option
I get the following message.

creat_spool failed!

smail worked prior to the change, smail works fine locally for root.
it looks like a permission problems, I have check the files, and they look
OK. Any ideas how to debug or fix it.

2. mail dose not go outside the local machine.
when I type:

I get the following.
Subject: test
.
EOT
Null message body; hope that's ok
new spool file is /var/spool/smail/input/0rD5n1-0002EuC
write_log:received
| from: root
| program: send-mail
| size: 99 bytes

transport termsmtp uses driver tcpsmtp
transport termsmtp: connect to host localhost [127.0.0.1]/2025...transport
termsmtp: connect: Connection refused

Connection refused

I have added the following entry to /etc/services, and it did not help either.
termsmpt 2025/tcp mail

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Oz

This is normal when you are not running term. When you start up term next time
do 'runq'. Then all mail hold is sent over the term link in one bunch. When
term is up your mail should be sent immediately I believe.
