Sounds like the permissions or location of the todo directory in the queue aren't correct. There's probably other problems with the queue as well. To fix this, you could blindly do the following: 1. stop qmail 2. cd to your qmail source directory (where you unpacked the .tar.gz file). 3. do `make setup check' Or, send another message to this list, including the unedited output of the `qmail-showctl` command, and the output of `ls -ld / /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/queue /var/qmail/queue/*` Charles -- --- Charles Cazabon<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPL'ed software available at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/ Any opinions expressed are just that -- my opinions. ---

That seems to speed it up for a lot of people. Are you using big-todo? 48000 messages pumping into the queue in short order would seem to indicate this would be a good idea. Are you logging with multilog? Logging through splogger/syslog can choke a busy qmail server, reducing the mail throughput by an order of magnitude. Are logs and the mail queue on separate physical disks? That can seriously help qmail's performance if the server is extremely busy. > I've looked throught the Qmail.org site but its all greek to me... no real > good information for me there On the contrary, excellent information is there.

You're probably running qmail-smtpd, which will accept E-mail and place it in the queue
("not yet preprocessed"), but qmail itself (qmail-send, qmail-clean, qmail-lspawn,
qmail-rspawn) isn't running, to process messages in the queue. Fix this by running
qmail-start (see Life with Qmail for details). You can verify whether qmail is running
by
using ps -elf or ps -auxw (depending on your system) and looking for the above ...send
..clean ...lspawn ...rspawn processes. If they're not there, qmail isn't running.
cheers,
Andrew.
