If I install qmail as per basic instructions (I am using uspci and
daemontools package)
I have set the default delivery to be a ./Maildir/. I can created (using
maildircreate) the directory /home/fred/Maildir.
Can I (a) use mail to send a messsage like this.
>mail fred
Subject? and so on
... it doesn't object, but nothing appears in my maildir.
I set up Eudora on a pc and sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent
OK but dissapeared.
Checked the queue and the messages are sat there and are marked as not
prepocessed. hmmm.
Check the processes. Processing running..
svsscan
supervise qmail-send
supervise log
supervise qmail-smtpd
supervise log
qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
what is (or is not going on).
I had it running yesterday using xinetd and it worked, but nothing I could
do would persuade authorisation for POP3 to work.
I really need some help. qmail is going in the bin after today. I have
heard loads of good things about it but I just can't make it work. Every
time I follow somebody elses installation advise (and there seems to be no
agreement on how to do it at all) something else doesn't work! I need a
mail server up and running, if qmail is no good can anybody recommend
something that actually works properly.
