qmail has slowed to processing local mail in 10-20 minutes since I
restored the backup files to a new drive (after the old one crashed).
The restore seemed to go along okay, and everything else on the system
seems to be working as it was.
I've tried sending local mail normally and tried "echo to: jhill |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" with similar results.
I'm running tcpserver, but I'm not certain how that could slow down
delivery. I should be more familiar with qmail, but I've never had
reason to: it has run flawlessly and very fast since I installed it
about eight months ago.
I've searched the FAQ and the mail archive with few hints except that I
should work on tracing the problem (which I'm trying to do).
Unfortunately, I'm under a bit of pressure to resolve this problem
quickly. Any suggestions appreciated.
You probably messed up thr trigger file. Compare yours with
# l /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Mar 4 10:59 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger|
If the problem is not this, run
make check
from the top qmail src dir. If your system is RH Linux, and you used
my rpm, you can also do
/var/qmail/bin/instcheck
But, as the FAQ warns, there is no way to backup a nonempty queue.
