Thanks Chris, I did a cut and paste from the Living with Qmail document,
the "Bang" wasn't there.
To prevent certain denial-of-service attacks against qmail-smtpd, you should
create a simple wrapper in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-wrapper that looks
like:
#/bin/bash
ulimit -d 1024
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd ${1+"$@"}
To Reply to Lorens Kockum:
This appears to be on inbound mail, rights problems would have to be with
the daemon running the inbound mail process? Can you assign rights to a
daemon? Just for my curiosity, what is he a part of "user,group,other".
Anyway, There are execute rights on the file. Thanks for your comment also.
darkstar:~# cd /var/qmail/bin
darkstar:/var/qmail/bin# ls -Falc qmail-smtpd-wrapper

Thanks,

The line above needs to be:
#!/bin/bash
And make sure that qmail-smtpd-wrapper is executable.

What's the above line? It needs to be commented out.
