Title: qmail delivery problem
Post by: Tom Carroll on March 28, 2002, 01:50:32 AM

I see this error in my qmail log.  Anyone have an idea what this is?

@400000003c9bb2eb2a5b681c starting delivery 18: msg 1212847 to local xxxx@server.carrollweb.net
@400000003c9bb2eb2a5b875c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20

@400000003c9bb2eb2a79b5ec status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Thanks!

Hi Tom,

Don't know exactly, but if I where you I would check for viruses or spam first.

What about checking the directory permissions? Compare it to other user's directory may help.

The user i suspect is one that was added by the installation of some additional software ie hylafax or something else.

The user exists on the system but doesnt have a home folder. Qmail cant write to the folder because it does not exist.

Strange - for some reason after I did a fresh install of SME 5.1.2 on my new dell server and then restored from desktop I have several user file permissions messed up.  I guess I need to look the system over a little closer...

Thanks for the tip!
