OK!!! Progress
with the new stripped down /var/qmail/rc file it works providing the
message is sent through SMTP.
qmail-inject still doesn't work. If I echo to it the message just vanishes.
If I use mail (via the sendmail wrapper I presume) I get an error.
Anyway...
root@sql:/var/qmail/bin > ls -lsa qmail-inject
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 31 Nov 2 11:58 qmail-inject
..any bright ideas.
I am off now to try and implement POP3 and virtual users. I have of course
only a vague idea of what I am doing so you will all no doubt be hearing
from me!
Thanks for all the help so far, its appreciated!
