New Plesk server, SMTP not starting

Hi,

I've got a new server, and a fresh install of Plesk 8.0.1.

SMTP doesn't appear to be starting. In the web control panel, it simply won't start.

I've restarted qmail via SSH, and SMTP still doesn't show as started via the web control panel. If I do a mailmng --status-smtpd it shows as started.

When I start/stop/restart qmail via SSH I get "unary operator expected" eg:

[root@mercury ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail: line 25: [: =: unary operator expected
Stopping : [root@mercury ~]#

I've added the -Rt0 line to server args in /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa to no avail.

Also, when attempting to use Horde to send a mail, I get the following response:

There was an error sending your message: Failed to connect to localhost:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]

Has anyone any ideas?

Cheers in advance.
 
Try uninstalling the Qmail RBL rpm package and restart Qmail.
