Hi
I am having the same problem, where it takes 20 minutes for mail to
be delivered, whether it's remote to local, local to remote, or local
to local.
It seems that indeed the permissions on the trigger file are wrong, mine is:
prw------- 1 qmails qmail 0 Oct 23 02:27 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
Now, it has been taking 20 minutes to delever ever since I installed
it. So presumably my installation didn't work properly, or has bugs
in it. I'm using the FreeBSD ports collection to install qmail.
I am confused about Magnus's suggestion on how to fix it, ie do a
"make setup" from the qmail source. Would it not be enough to
manually fix the permissions with chmod?
If I cd to /usr/ports/mail/qmail and do "make setup" it response with
"don't know how to make setup".
Cheers
Jesse
PS, this would be an excellent thing to have in the FAQ! It seems
many people are having this problem.
