qmail error
I have just installed qmail on a Debian box following a HOW-TO by Adam Mckenna and I am having problems starting it. Here is the message I am getting when starting qmail: -- root@vader:/etc/init.d# ./qmail start Starting mail-transport-agent:svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send: supervise not running svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd: supervise not running qmailsvc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log: supervise not running svc: warning: unable to control /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log: supervise not running logging. -- Thanks Chris.

Copying it might result in wrong ownership of the Maildir and it's subdirectories. The command `maildirmake` will create a Maildir with its three subdirectories (tmp, new, and cur). They all have to be owned by the user to work. And what do you mean by renamed? In its simplest form, a Maildir is just named "Maildir" and is located in the user's home directory. Your default delivery instruction is then "./Maildir/". You shouldn't need to rename the Maildir. > Then I copied and renamed one of the existing Alias folders and > edited the home directory name for each new user. Again, not sure what you mean by an alias folder. Do you mean a .qmail-something file in the home directory of user "alias"? These aren't necessary for local users. > I've checked the permissions and owernship on the Maildir folder and > sub-folders and they are identical to the users who are working correctly. Well, there's obviously something different going on here. For starters, how about showing us the result of `ls -ld ~USER ~USER/Maildir ~USER/Maildir/*` for both a user that works, and one that doesn't? Also, post the output of `qmail-showctl`. And don't change any of the host/usernames for the sake of "security". We need the real information to find the problem.

Who owns these Maildirs? Thanks for the quick response. All I did was add 7 new users to a system that already had 10 users setup and working correctly. (Setup by somebody else, by the way) For a windows based guy, qmail is a little difficult to figure out. I simply copied and renamed one of the existing users Maildir folders. Then I copied and renamed one of the existing Alias folders and edited the home directory name for each new user. I've checked the permissions and owernship on the Maildir folder and sub-folders and they are identical to the users who are working correctly. I even traced the source of the error down in the qmail-local source code, but not being a C programmer wasn't able to find the source of the subroutine that causes case 2 to occur. I've made the assumption that the error (chdir) refers to qmail's inability to change (to the users) directory but I can't find any difference between the working users directories from the ones I set up.

The problem is that sendmail on that machine does not know it's supposed to handle email for reino.com.ar. This would be analogous to installing qmail but not putting your domain into locals, even though there is an MX record pointing to you.

Hello again, I made the correction to /var/log/qmail as Adam pointed out. I then restarted qmail...now it's not working. Seems like rblsmtpd resets and does not accept connections anymore.
