Re: vmailmgr issue
Heey, glad my memory isn't in as bad of condition as I first thought. :) I'm not positive, but I do know that qmail reads a bunch of control files upon startup, and it looks like your error message is stating that the control directory cannot be found. On a default qmail install from src, the top level directory for qmail is /var/qmail. Inside of that, among several other directories, is one called "control". Inside of that are several text files that contain things like virtual host lists, aliases, etc... Here's what my control/ directory looks like: databytes locals plusdomain virtualdomains defaultdomain locals.lock rcpthosts virtualdomains.lock defaulthostme rcpthosts.lock Make sure your qmail install is finding these files, and you should be good to go. If all else fails, go grab a Newcastle or BlueMoon, print out "Life with qmail" (http://www.lifewithqmail.org/), download the qmail source, and start the install from scratch. That proved to be the easiest way to get it installed for me. (Only took me a couple of hours to get qmail, courier-imap/pop, qmailadmin, vpopmail, and sqwebmail installed)...

This time I got qmail, vpopmail AND qmail admin working AND I can USE it :) kindof When attempting to start qmail I get: alert: cannot start: unable to read controls A search on google mainly returns the manpage for qmail-log ... not really any help. Looking at some other issues I checked the perms for both /var/lib/qmail and /var/qmail, etc. and made sure they were all the same (alias.qmail). Any ideas? qmail was installed from apt (qmail-src, build-qmail, etc.) I hate admining email... no wonder I've never had to do this before.

Re: vmailmgr issue
I don't know about vmailmgr, but from what I remember, vpopmail was the newer version of vmailmgr (I *think*), and I have vpopmail running very nicely along with courier-imapd, courier-pop, qmail, sqwebmail, and qmailadmin... Everything works like a champ. I installed everything from source (I'm anal like that, and like full control over config flags and what-not). Anyhow, give that a shot. More detailed vpopmail and qmail info is available at http://www.inter7.com. Hope this helps! Eric >I'm sure there is a way...

vmailmgr issue
I'm sure there is a way... I'm just bashing my head against the wall now... I'm attempting to setup vmailmgr on my Sid box and I can't get it to run. I first installed from source but I wasn't sure of the install so I alien'ed the RPMs and now I feel - slighly - more confedent. I had to move some files around but it _looks_ right. I've also installed ucspi-tcp but this did not give me a needed file "unixserver". Has anyone gotten vmailmgr to run on a Debian box? Is there some deb's anywhere? I couldn't find any.
