Hmm, my gut tells me that's not the way to go ;)
Right Again. I thought it was working, but after remming it out, it still
was loading anyway from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh which is a symbolic
link to /var/qmail/rc. But I think the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail.sh is what
is actually running on startup. I think this because I copied a "batch file"
that I had wrote over to the directory and gave it a .sh extension, and it
runs on boot. This is what is in the rc file.
#!/bin/sh
# Using splogger to send the log through syslog.
# Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default.
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail&
I had to add the & after qmail on the second line, because it would not
complete loading (ie.. apache loads just before qmail, and it would just sit
there loading apache and never move. I had to hit ctrl-c to get it to the
login prompt, and this was unloading the qmail rc. Also why I thought it
was running out of inetd.conf. Does your rc file have the & at the end?
I have to take another stab at converting over to ./Maildir. When I change
the rc file over to ./Maildir, all mail works outbound, but I have trouble
on inbound.
Root still says access denied on ./Maildir when he receives a message and my
other users says that ./Maildir is a directory and errors out. The
conversion looks pretty simple, I have to look again at the changes I made.

There are wrappers for mail, elm and pine in /var/qmail/bin called qail, elq
and pinq.
they automagically call maildir2mbox before starting mail, elm or pine ....
I guess the reason I thought it wasn't working, was the fact that mail was
not seing the mail in ./Mailbox anymore, but it is actually qmail now and
not sendmail ???
