Hello,
we recendly had a hard drive crash on a system using qmail. /home and /var
were gone - we restored them from backup. No problem. We then installed a
new hard drive and moved /var and /home over to it. After this, we are
seeing some really strange things going on.
*All* local deliveries result in "temporary_error_on_maildir_delivery" in
the logs. No mail is delivered, and they remain in the queue. All mail dirs
are fine in terms of permissions and contents. We have not touched them.
The *strange* part is: All queued mail is delivered successfully if we
restart qmail! In other words, we can make all mail be delievered within 10
minutes by restarting qmail automatically every 10 minutes.
This is oviously stupid, which is why I am posting this message. Can anyone
think of anything that might cause this strange behavior? Short of totally
re-installing qmail and hoping for the best, what can we do?
Thank you,
