Curious. The LWQ scripts call "exec", not "execvp": the former is a
command, the latter is a library function. Check your /var/qmail/rc
and /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/run scripts to make sure they
specify "exec".

The "qmail" script sets PATH for itself to include /var/qmail/bin.

We'll need to see the exact error message and the circumstances under
which you receive it.

I'm glad you found it helpful but I wish it had helped you avoid this
problem, whatever it is.
