Hello all, I have a quite serious problem (I guess) and I know, I can only blame myself. Anyway, I want to solve it in a 'nice', non-drastic way.
I wanted to make my system somewhat safer, so I started, as it is recommended, changing the permissions and groups. This seemed to work and I thought my system was safe. But now, going online again, it seems as if I cannot mail... OK, this is contraditionary, since I'm mailing, but now, I'm using webmail, but may qmail-fetchmail won't work anymore. So, I have installed qmail and fetchmail on a Debian system (Woody). Things were ok before I changed (a lot of) permissions, since it is recommended here and there to make nothing world-wide readable, and also writable and/or executable. Initially, I had some problems other programs not working (due to wrong permissions and/or groups), but most of them, I could solve, except this mailing things. If I run: > echo "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" | qmail-inject I don't get an error or warning message. I can find all the messages I send somewhere in /var/qmail/queue/mess/?? (?? to be replaced by a number), so they are queued, but not sent. > cat 155788 #This is a message I found in /var/qmail/queue/mess/9 Received: (qmail 18953 invoked by uid 1000); 17 Mar 2003 11:30:59 -0000 Date: 17 Mar 2003 11:30:59 -0000 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't receive or send any mail. Anyone any idea how to solve this? tnx a lot, Kurt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
