Subject: help with strange
problem
I have been pulling my hair out on this one all day long. I am
including all my information so you guys can help keep my hair in.....
I have been running qmail on a mail machine at a k12 school for a
year...no real problems to speak of....
now I have upgraded this server to redhat 7.0 beta......I know...why on
earth would you use beta on a production machine....well, I tested it out on
several otehr machines...and all went well, and it's not the beta I'm having
problems with.
The machine in question is bryant.dsc.k12.ar.us
there is an alias to this machine...bryant.k12.ar.us
I have been running this machine aliased for our administrators for the
year...and now I'm moving all of our schools over to this machine.
That includes elementaries, the jr.high, high school, etc....
Mail is working perfectly for our administrators(thank goodness)...but
not for new users
I have /etc/skel setup to create a Maildir correctly(yes I used
maildirmake), and copy a .qmail file to everyone's home directory.
I checked permissions...they match our existing users that are
working.....
but when you add a new user ....you can't send mail to them at either
address....I've tried restarting qmail...and restarting the machine(with
blind hopes)
I got this whe I added a user named testingthemail:
to local

I added another user just a while ago....and all of the sudden his
is working...I haven't done anything....
but this new one I just added isn't yet.......
is there a file I have to manually update if I want users to be
accessible right after being added?
