Hi I tried that. Now I get the following error when I try to mail someone.
qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
I erased:
queue/mess/*
queue/info/*
queue/local/*
queue/intd/*
queue/todo/*
queue/remote/*
And restarted qmail.
The last time I got this error. I re-installed qmail. Now Im going to
re-install it again. However I think the mailq is filling up because I
have cronjobs running and root is not getting the mail. I su to root and
ran:
maildirmake Maildir
in root directory. But I still could not receive mail messages from root.
No mail shows up in ~root/Maildir/new. All the messages are in queue. On
the other hand when I create a regular user and his "Maildir", then mail
him a message his message arrives no problem.
how do i get root his mail ? any ideas ?
