Help! :(
Hi, I've been playing with dot-forward, and now my whole qmail system doesn't want to deliver messages. I don't know if they're related, or whether something else is wrong - but no one is getting any mail!?!? Basically I installed the dot-forward package and set this at my /var/qmail/rc: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start '|dot-forward .forward ./Maildir/' splogger qmail But that didn't work, so I thought i'd set it back to normal whilst I look into the matter, so my rc is now: exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail Thing is, mail is being received, but not delivered. qmail-qstat shows: messages in queue: 6 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 And qmail is running again after I stopped it. Any ideas what I've done to stop it working? At least messages aren't being lost, but I need to get the mail out to my users :-( TIA, Andy.

(tm) I'm also a bit curious why there's a in your rc file The is what was in the /var/qmail/boot example files, I used /var/qmail/boot/maildir for my RC. As for the logs, nothing. (a little odd again). Andy.

Nothing, as in there's no entries in the log, or Nothing, as in there's nothing of interest in the log ? Nothing as in there's no entries (i'm looking in /var/log/messages, which is hopefully the right place). Any ideas? Andy.

Looking at the RIGHT log reveals: Jul 1 18:40:26 wolverine qmail: 962473226.726133 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Jul 1 18:40:26 wolverine qmail: 962473226.731877 delivery 69: deferral: Unable_to_fork:_temporary_failure._(# 4.3.0)/ Now why is it saying that... any more ideas? Thanks, Andy.
Virtual Domains and MX Records
Hi, I'm totally stuck trying to get qmail working the way I want it to, and the more I try to change configurations the more I get mixed up. The idea is that I have user.domain.co.uk as the virtual domain, so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to a local mailbox. What I've done so far is: made an MX record pointing to the domain.co.uk machine in qmail/control/virtualdomain entered user.domain.co.uk:username put user.domain.co.uk into rcpthosts and sent a HUP to both named and qmail-send Now reading the FAQ's and howto's etc I was led to believe that this would basically take the following steps: 1) mail arrives at domain.co.uk mail server 2) mail server has domain in its rcpthosts, good 3) is the domain in locals? no.. 4) is the domain a virtualdomain? yes... deliver to username And then username goes and checks his mail and there's the message. At the moment I'm getting a: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? I hope its not something stupid I've forgot, apologies if it is. TIA, Andy.

At the moment I'm getting a: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) There needs to be a .qmail-default file in ~username with delivery instructions. If you want the default delivery instruction (which is probably to deliver mail to ./Mailbox or ./Maildir/), just create an empty ..qmail-default file. Aargh thats it!! S close, I thought with the username in the virtualdomain bit would just send it locally to username. Thanks, I did just make an empty one and it works perfectly. Wow thats a relief :-) Later, Andy.
