qmail-remote

Wed, 04 Jul 2001 03:25:30 -0700

Hi,
 
I'm having a problem which started after having to hard-reboot my machine due to monitor difficulty.
When the machine came back up, qmail was not working properly...
 
Env: FreeBSD
 
Symptoms:
 
Lag when sending and receiving mail
Mail sent from machine does not seem to arrive at destination, even though an 'accepted' message can be seen in /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current
Mail sent to machine generates error message:
---
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)
---
 
(I checked the control/locals file, and mybox.org is there. I also found a locals.lock file, which I removed. This sent CPU usage plummeting, but did not fix the problem of no mail being received and error messages being generated - they are being continuously generated.)
 
Output:

... and so on for another lines
 
It appears that qmail-remote is supervised, as new qmail-remote processes are started up if I attempt to kill them.
 
When I send a message, it appears to be delivered:
 
In /var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current, some messages are being marked as delivered ok (but do not actually arrive), and some are being marked with the control/locals file error mentioned above.
 
Can anyone tell me what is going on here, or point me to some specific documentation?
 
Any help appreciated,
 
Shawn
