TEST.deliver failed
I have a Linux box connected to an ISP vvia ppp and I am trying to install qmail+serialmail. I am running slackware 7.0 with named daemon and I have several problems. I created var/qmail and the users and group and compiled and installed the programs. Then I try ./config which fails Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ./config Your hostname is mandrake. soft error Sorry, I couldn't find your host's canonical name in DNS. You will have to set up control/me yourself. Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# This is in a way unexcpected because I am running named and in /etc/hosts I have 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 Mandrake.tin.it Mandrake 127.0.0.1 clubnet.tin.it # End of hosts. but I am not a real expert so. Having read "Mail with qmail" by D. L. Vander Woude I followed the suggestion and did Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# echo 'Mandrake.tinit' /var/qmail/control/me and I created the alias. Then I moved /var/spool/mail/root to /root/Mailbox (I did this also for another user just in case) and did a Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ln -s ~/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/root I copy /var/qmail/boot/home /var/qmail/rc and I launch /var/qmail/rc then I pass to TEST.deliver In /var/adm messages I read Aug 31 16:18:42 Mandrake qmail: 967731522.987914 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 and ps aux | grep qmail gives me Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ps aux | grep qmail qmails 10287 1.4 2.6 1080 380 tty1 S16:18 0:00 qmail-send qmaill 10288 0.2 2.8 1056 408 tty1 S16:18 0:00 splogger qmail root 10289 0.3 2.2 1048 324 tty1 S16:18 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Maqmailr 10290 0.1 2.2 1048 324 tty1 S16:18 0:00 qmail-rspawn qmailq 10291 0.1 2.3 1040 340 tty1 S16:18 0:00 qmail-clean root 10293 2.0 2.8 1124 400 tty1 S16:18 0:00 grep qmail Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# then in local to local test I do Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# echo to: root | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject and in /var/adm/messages I have Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.155147 new msg 51107 Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.156201 info msg 51107: bytes 211 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 10307 uid 0 Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.288595 starting delivery 1: msg 51107 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.289410 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.522444 delivery 1: success: did_1+0+0/Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.523365 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Aug 31 16:20:08 Mandrake qmail: 967731608.523843 end msg 51107 which seems OK but /root/Mailbox is empty I tried several variations, I have for root a .qmail file reading ./Mailbox | /var/qmail/bin/qbiff I tried the longname dns patch, I did a ./config-fast Mandrake.tin.it but the result is the same. Can someone help me ? Sorry for the long message Alberto Meroni [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ever. Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# echo 'Mandrake.tinit' /var/qmail/control/me The capital "M" might be causing problems. Domain names are case insensitive, but you should use lowercase everywhere just in case. Mandrake:~/qmail-1.03# ln -s ~/Mailbox /var/spool/mail/root qmail doesn't deliver mail to privileged users. I suggest you take a few minutes and scan "Life with qmail". See: http://lwq.w3.to -Dave
