SMTP test fails during qmailrocks install CentOS 5.5

[cambob]

I am trying to run though the qmailrocks setup on a centos 5.5 and I am running into an issue when trying to telnet to port 25:
telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Everything else seems to be working (telnet to 110), and I turned off the firewall entirely, but I still cannot telnet to port 25. I also get a blank error within squirrelmail when attempting to send mail out (ERROR:
Message not sent. Server replied: ).

I apologize for not going directly to the qmailrocks forum, but they are currently closed down (due to lack of funds). I also am a newbie, so I apologize for the lack of needed information. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know what information you would need.

Thank you in advance

Are there any errors in your mail log?

What's the output of

netstat -tap

?

Dear Falko,

I couldn't find the mail logs, not sure where they would be?
[root@chris-primary doc]# locate mail.log
[root@chris-primary doc]#


Thank you

I found that an error pointed to the softlimit, made the following change:
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 50000000
to the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file
and now I can telnet to port 25

Now I am having an authentication error, but at least I am closer now and I think that I can find leads to the auth error in qmail (Message not sent. Server replied:

Authentication failed
535 authorization failed (#5.7.0))

The mail log should be somewhere in the /var/log directory.
