hi, IMHO chmod should do the trick... -Original Message- From: Jesse Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2000 5:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: very slow delivery Hi I am having the same problem, where it takes 20 minutes for mail to be delivered, whether it's remote to local, local to remote, or local to local.

RE: very slow delivery
Yes manually fixing the perms on ...lock/trigger has fixed it! I'm very relieved. I thought I was going to have to install a different mail server...

So presumably my installation didn't work properly, or has bugs in it. I'm using the FreeBSD ports collection to install qmail. I used the FreeBSD port on FreeBSD 3.3 and my perms were set correctly. This might be a bug in a later version of the port. I'd send a note to the ports mailing list and CC the maintainer of the qmail port. I am confused about Magnus's suggestion on how to fix it, ie do a "make setup" from the qmail source. Would it not be enough to manually fix the permissions with chmod? I don't know about this, but I suspect you are correct. If I cd to /usr/ports/mail/qmail and do "make setup" it response with "don't know how to make setup". You would have to run "make extract" in /usr/ports/mail/qmail, then cd to work/qmail-1.03 and run the "make setup". The ports collection has its own set of makefiles that create a subdirectory tree and run the actual software's make. The ports make system doesn't understand the setup or check targets.

very slow delivery
hi i'm running qmail and first there were no problems. but after a while qmail is getting very slow. now the delivery and sending of messages takes 20 min. i write a message eg. in pine send it and then have to wait up to 20 min till its delivered. if i recieve mail with fetchmail it takes also up to 20 min the mail is deliverd to local. i've no network. only a standalone pc. even mail to myself takes up to 20 min. i didn't change anything in my opinion. the error accours suddenly ;-) ok i think i must have changed something but i don't know what. the mails are getting in the queue and are preprocessed correctly, but then it takes up to 20min they are delivered. i will be very happy if you could help me. mirko home : http://stud.fbi.fh-darmstadt.de/~koenig
