Hi, after the recent update of my sme 8.1, it stopped receive any email. They are all in qmail queue and in qmail log i've this error:


--- Code: ---delivery 145: deferral: /usr/bin/maildrop:_Cannot_determine_my_username./
--- End code ---

This for all the users and groups. Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance,
Bye :)

Zen:
Maildrop is not a part of the core, but...in which contrib have I installed it? User-panel? Vacation?
If I remove this contrib, can i solve the problem?

Zen:
Update...
in

--- Code: ---/home/e-smith/files/users/user01
--- End code ---
I found some files

--- Code: ---.mailfilter
.procmailrc
.qmail
.qmail-default
.qmail-junkmail
.vacation.msg
.mailfilter.log
.mailfilter.log.1
.mailfilter.log.2
--- End code ---

Now, moving all this files, I started to receive again but i've lost all the qmail queue. How can i retrieve all those messages?
What is strange is that those files were not recreated as I expected.

Edit:
The files have been recreated after a qmHandle -a command.

The strange is, until the file .qmail is in the folder, i can't receive anything; only when the file .qmail is deleted or moved and after a qmHandle -a I start to receive my emails. Everytime i must repeat this procedure or i give that error.

Stefano:
.qmail file is necessary for qmail to work
You are watching in the wrong direction..

Zen:
Any suggestion on where to watch? :)

--- End code ---

removing maildrop, obviously qmail said:

--- Code: ---2014-09-25 16:33:40.423076500 delivery 257: deferral: /bin/sh:_/usr/bin/maildrop:_No_such_file_or_directory/
--- End code ---
After reinstalling maildrop, qmail returned the previous message:

--- Code: ---delivery 145: deferral: /usr/bin/maildrop:_Cannot_determine_my_username./
--- End code ---
Removing all the .qmail files and forcing qmail to send the queue, all seems working, but, when the .qmail file reappears, i must delete it again...but, now seems not always, for example, one minute ago i received an email without doing nothing.

I don't know where can I watch to solve this problem :(
