Ok, I changed directory to 744. Set mail up on netscape to receive from
basicq.com. When I enter password, I get the cannot connect to
basicq.com, server not receiving now or is busy. I traced the message I
sent to /var/qmail/queue/mess/. Just as I sent it with no error codes,
like it is just waiting for the next step. I noticed that the maillog
was last posted to on July 12, so it is not logging there since I
reinstalled July 14.
Any other suggestions?
