I just started the process of installing qmail last night, and I'm
having trouble with local mbox delivery. It has the distinct smell of a
common problem, but I can't seem to find anything in the FAQ (or
elsewhere), and my eyes are getting bleary from reading the mailing
list, so please bear with me.
I'm on Red Hat 6.0, with VM 6.75 under emacs 20.3 as my MUA:
Here's what I see in /var/log/maillog when qmail tries to deliver an
enqueued message to my ~/Mailbox file:
Feb 12 10:34:47 hostname qmail: 950369687.686971 starting delivery 39: msg 110876
to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Feb 12 10:34:47 hostname qmail: 950369687.687264 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
Feb 12 10:34:48 hostname qmail: 950369688.156477 delivery 39: deferral:
Unable_to_open_/home/rogers/Mailbox:_access_denied._(#4.2.1)/
Feb 12 10:34:48 hostname qmail: 950369688.156733 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
This has been going on all night. It appeared to happen at first after
reading the previous batch of messages in VM (which uses movemail), but
deleting the file and recreating it doesn't fix the problem. Is this a
locking issue? What am I missing here?
FWIW, I would like to stick to mbox format, rather than Maildir,
since my needs are simple . . .
Thanks in advance,
