Re: Strange messages in log
Hi, the provided answers point to the right problem. Except for the following: -- If your QMAIL installation comes from a package (eg. SuSE Linux) you have to obey the relative path of the installation. The common QMAIL package for SuSE Linux has a QMAIL path like /usr/local/var/qmail .. -- Thus check, where the QMAIL binaries are! cheers. eh.

Check the files in that directory and the installation steps of LWQ again.

Which files do you need to analyze this problem? Regards, Marcus qmail is having trouble reading the files in /var/qmail/control . Ensure they actually exist, and make sure that they are readable by all users (or even just the user that qmail-send runs as). -- B r e t t R a n d a l l http://xbox.ipsware.com/ brett _ @ _ ipsware.com
