Topic: Help ! I have suffered badly from finger slip!

[Drifting]

I did a really dumb thing today! I was looking in the /var/qmail directory and stupidly deleted the whole thing ! No backup! No nothing....

How can I get this back? as now all the email has stopped.

Thanks

How did you delete it? you have to press 2 buttons before you can delete.

You might wish to use the cdrom boot from it and when it says install new erase or upgrade current 7.0 choose the upgrade 7.0 (mind the old finger)

I have only done the above once so beware it may not work for you.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I was holding a hot cup of coffee in a designer mug, stupid thing had the dumbest handle I have ever seen, mug slipped, hot coffee on me and the keyboard, and more than one key was pressed, in fact I think most of them were

Well an upgrade did not do the trick (sadly) anyone have an idea how to recreate the queues?

Do "rpm -e --nodeps qmail" then do another upgrade.
