Title: procmail
Post by: Gaetan on June 30, 2003, 02:14:29 PM

Hi,

I am using E-Smith Version 5.1.2
The qmail log message shows funny errors against certain users:

procmail:_Couldn't_create_"/var/spool/mail/ ...

Can someone help ?

Cheers

Gaetan

Disk full?

enter 'df -h' as root on the console

Hi,

No, the disk is not full.


[root@e-smith /root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6             8.1G  5.6G  2.0G  73% /
/dev/sda1              15M  5.9M  8.5M  41% /boot


The disk was full 7 days ago. I had a problem with  a looping email (using Rav Antivirus) ...
I have clean the disk since then (user unused files).

OK, two other random possibilities:

1/ Quota of these users exceeded?
2/ Permissions of the /var/spool/mail/[user] file changed?

SME Server runs qmail, not sendmail, and delivers mail to a maildir-type mailbox, ~/Maildir/ -- not to /var/spool/mail/$USER.

You'll need to tell procmail to deliver to that, not to /var/spool/mail/$USER.
