Hi everybody,
Two days ago I started getting unable_to_chdir_to_maildir
messages in my logs.
The server has been running for quite a while now, and I
have not touched qmail or vpopmail in almost 70 days.
The messages with these errors is filling up the mailqueue,
and I have no idea what caused this!
I have 7 domains on this server, but only one of them
gives these errors.
The hostname of the server is brokermail.co.za, and it
is this domain which gets these errors, the other domains
work fine!
What could have caused this problem to suddenly appear ?
I am pretty sure nobody else in the office touched this machine.
I have qmail-1.03+vpopmail-3.4.9+sqwebmail-0.28, and I use
tcpserver.
I temporarily bypassed this problem by creating system accounts
with maildirs for the users under brokermail.co.za, this works
fine for the moment
