for those of you that were asking, i'm running slackware 7.1 and i've installed
qmail according to the life with qmail document... minus the init.d config
files, I don't use init.d, I just added /usr/local/sbin/qmail start" to my
rc.local file. I used the IDS file to add users and such, and for my rc file I
used the included file "binm1," I think this may be where my problem is, I'm
not sure which rc file applies to my machine, since i'm not sure what the
default mail delivery is for sendmail in slack, but with this one qmail appears
to be functioning properly except for not finding the mailboxes. I'll include
the rc at the bottom. As I have said, qmail was configured exactly like the
life with qmail document. I've done this same installl on an Open BSD box
without any trouble, so I know what I'm doing for the most part. is there
another way to setup mailboxes in /var/spool/mail that might work better? I
seems to me that the problem is the zero length files.
thanks,
Kelly
