You should fix your queue with the queue-fix script, which you can find somewhere on www.qmail.org. You'll probably also have to fix the permissions on your trigger.

Check the qmail web site for it and use it. Make sure that it's set up with the same conf-split as you built QMail with. Sean -- "Engineering Tablets?

RE: Partition swap broke qmail
Off the top of my head I think you have a rights problem. You should have copied the /var/qmail directory with cp -Rp - the -p keeps current permissions, etc.. .mark >-- >From: Stewart Vardaman[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 3:04 PM >To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Partition swap broke qmail > >Qmail was installed on a /var partition that turned out to be too small, so >I added a new 36 gig disk, made the old /var something else, and copied >everything with cp -R.

Partition swap broke qmail
Qmail was installed on a /var partition that turned out to be too small, so I added a new 36 gig disk, made the old /var something else, and copied everything with cp -R. Brought the system back up with the new 36 gig /var partition, and qmail is only partially running. It does listen on port 25 and receive mail, but it doesn't seem to move messages past "preprocessed" or deliver them. Qstat looks like below, the 12 messages being my tests after the new /var partition. messages in queue: 1207 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 12 Other things that were on /var are all fine, and ps shows: root 699 0.0 0.0 1308 348 ?S14:39 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd root 701 0.0 0.0 1308 348 ?S14:39 0:00 supervise qmail-send qmaild 703 0.0 0.0 1332 368 ?S14:39 0:00 tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u100 -g503 0 25 qmail-smtpd qmails1222 0.0 0.0 1352 340 ?S14:39 0:00 qmail-send root 1227 0.0 0.0 1324 364 ?S14:39 0:00 qmail-lspawn |dot-forward .forward?./Maildir/ qmailr1228 0.0 0.0 00 ?Z14:39 0:00 [qmail-rspawn ] qmailq1229 0.0 0.0 00 ?Z14:39 0:00 [qmail-clean ] root 3492 0.0 0.0 1588 604 pts/0S16:46 0:00 grep qmail I'm very new to Linux and qmail, and don't know what means.
