Hi,
I'm having a major problem with a new install of Qmail under FreeBSD 3.2.
Qmail was installed by a server management package and appears ok - except
all mail entering the qmail/queue/mess folders is being owned by root:

drwxr-x---   2 qmailq  qmail    512 Apr  8 22:11 .
drwxr-x---  25 qmailq  qmail    512 Dec 13 17:01 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 root    qmail   2749 Apr  7 19:27 634892
-rw-r--r--   1 root    qmail  17998 Apr  8 22:11 634915


The Qmail deamons are running with the correct UID (AFAIK from the faq):

ps -aux gives:

qmails     279  0.0  0.1   836  468 con- I    Sat11AM   0:01.05 qmail-send
qmaill     291  0.0  0.1   780  476 con- I    Sat11AM   0:00.86 splogger
qmail
root       292  0.0  0.1   780  384 con- I    Sat11AM   0:00.32 qmail-lspawn
./Mail
qmailr     293  0.0  0.1   776  364 con- I    Sat11AM   0:00.01 qmail-rspawn
qmailq     294  0.0  0.1   768  388 con- I    Sat11AM   0:00.02 qmail-clean


and the mail is arriving ... it just can't be transferred to any user
popboxes:

Apr  9 18:13:47 ns1 qmail: 955300427.913207 delivery 1033: deferral:
Sorry,_message_has_wrong_owner._(#4.3.5)/
Apr  9 18:13:47 ns1 qmail: 955300427.913409 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20


.... as witnessed by /var/log/maillog.

If I chown the messages back to qmailq then the mail goes through .....
whats happening here? Is this fixable without a reinstall? I don't have
binaries as the qmail prog was bundled with a self installer.



Cheers,
Chris R.
