i installed the .deb binary packages (very nervously) and i think that
has fixed the problem *knocks wood*
thanks to everyone who responded. one other little question. is there
anywhere else i should check permissions of besides /var/qmail/ ? i had
to change the uids and gids of some system users to get the package to
install, and so i used 'find' to change the permissions to the correct
user(s) in /var/qmail. there isn't anywhere else i need to change,
right?
has anyone had good luck with these binary packages?
http://innominate.org/~pape/Debian/ (listed on the main qmail page)?
aside from installing dot-forward and fastforward which I don't need
since the system already uses .qmail files and qmail style aliases it
seemed to work pretty well.
