I did as told but see a lot of errors of the sort X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st:[mail119046351171828276] Unable to open pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue [65] (#4.3.0) - X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25st:[mail119046351171828276] Unable to close pipe to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue [65] (#4.3.0) - Illegal seek now. Is this a result of me purging the directories? The strange thing is that even if I undo it and these files are there and have correct permissions, I still get the error message.
