Hello,
First off I made a mistake, I moved /home to another disk used fstab made a back up, checked it, deleted the original, found out when I copied I forgot the "P" option in cp so I screwed up the ownership on all the files/folders in home.
Made another installation of sme (vmware) went through it what I can see and put the ownerships back the way they were supposed to be.
However the only thing not working is my qmail, I get this error which I googled but cannot really understand where to edit / how this ties into SME so I thought I would come here and ask first before screwing up the system even more.
The error is "deferral: Temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery._(#4.3.0)/"
I even made a new user and tried him out and I still get the same error. Ive checked the permissions out in each of the users /home/esmith/files/users/Maildir and it looks fine.
Any suggestions or questions?
Thanks,
Derek L

did you change/restore the permissions/ownership on hidden files/dirs too (name starting with period as .qmail)?

I did a locate .qmail and found the 3 files under each user.
They look like they copied with there permissions. However the .qmail-default had a group owner of root
(root root) I changed that to (root admin) but still nothing.
Thanks for that suggestion though.

I also get
Message sent successfully, but not saved to sent-mail
when I try to send a message from horde.
Googling suggested changing the saved folder, this did not work either so it has to be some directory / file permission somewhere,
man this is so frustrating :(
Thanks,

did you change recursively permission/ownership on ALL files/dirs?
can you please post the error message in qmail log?
thank you

Some directories I recursed while most I didnt as they had different permissions.

I went through the steps of a manual restore in this thread.
THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE

I don't know if reading through this will give you a clue or not.
Good luck

Thanks,
I had gone through most of the permissions they are all the same as before.
Like I said when I did the cp -r it copied the hidden files but kept there ownership and permission which is weird because it changed the ownership and permission of the visible files.

I made two new users and tried to send mail from one new user to the other and that didnt work.
Could it be how I mounted my home drive?
fstab snip
/mnt/hgfs/Server/SMEServer/current/home /home none rw,bind 0 0
is that somehow preventing qmail from setting up properly?
Here is the error again
