Sorry,_message_has_wrong_owner._(#4.3.5)
I'm at the end of my rope here with this error. I've read every message in the archives pertaining to this problem, and none of the proposed solutions apply. When I send a new message, it gets written to /var/qmail/mess/* owned by root:qmail instead of qmailq:qmail despite these facts: * make check reports no anomalies. * bin/qmail-queue appears to have the correct permissions: -rws--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 20480 Jun 21 11:02 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue * I've completely re-installed qmail (and rm -rf /var/qmail) several times both from tarball and from the OpenBSD ports tree with the same result.

How did you install? Probably the UIDs you set up for qmail are incorrect, or have changed somehow. You said you re-installed, but did you delete the queue when you did so? Or is this message left over from a previous botched installation? You haven't given us any real information to go on. Read the archives for numerous suggestions on what information to include in your message, so that we have a better idea of what's going on.
