tcp.smtp disappear

[Nicolas DELANOS]

Hi everyone,

Since few month, the file /etc/qmail/tcp.smtp disappear on some mail  
servers and qmail-smtpd is refusing all incomming messages.

By any chance, do you know what may cause this issue ?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas

Either:
- It was never there in the first place. are you sure that's where it was?
Often you find it in /etc or /home/vpopmail/etc
- It was deleted (on purpose or by accident)
- It was moved somewhere else
- It got lost due to fs corruption (unlikely in an ext3 fs, but possible in
early ext4 implementations)

Sincerely,
