First step is to determine which one. Show us the output of svstat /service/* and svstat /service/*/log Then we'll know which service (obviously one of the logging ones, so the first command above is just to be sure) doesn't run. Then we can dig into the script and look for the error. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Unless run can't be executed on the shell supervise won't succeed either. I've sometimes seen the #!/bin/sh not working for reasons not seeable, I guess a non-printable character somewhere. The easiest solution is to delete run and re-type it. And just to be sure check if /var/log/qmail exists and the user qmaill has write permissions to this directory. -- * Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.bsws.de * * Roedingsmarkt 14, 20459 Hamburg, Germany * Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

I've got a problem with my qmail install. I've been getting this error message. Mail in local queue: warning: trouble with #402: file does not exist The file was accidentally deleted, and I don't recall it's original location, otherwise, i'd just recreate it. Is there a way to get qmail to rebuild this file? Thanks in advance. Peter Brezny purplecat.net

No, it is gone. Remove all other files called '402' from /var/qmail/queue (find /var/qmail/queue -name 402 should help) to get rid of the error. The specific message is lost.

Note that qmail should be stopped before modifying the queue, and restarted afterwards -- otherwise it may just complain about the other missing files as well.

I'm really just about positive I did this already, but I don't know any other way to check.

Urk. That's even worse news, I've spent more time getting BIND to behave than qmail. :P No, I do appreciate your advice. I just cringe at this because I'm not an expert with either BIND/DNS or qmail. Looks like I'll have to become one now. :) Is there anything else I can try before I resort to the rebuilding? -- Steve Linberg, Chief Goblin Silicon Goblin Technologies http://silicongoblin.com Be kind.

Like I said, I did a test mail the the > large-mx address and it came back with a "no such user" response from the > remote server. I would have thought that the ability to send mail at all to large-mx.ckdhr.com would be a dead giveaway -- that requires TCP for sure -- it's a 747 byte response, even from dnscache. I'm sure with 'additional' records, it's fscking huge. I show msn.com's MX response well within the accepted limits, tho: gregw@frodo:~$ dnsq mx msn.com dns1.sj.msft.net 15 msn.com: 501 bytes, 1+12+0+8 records, response, authoritative, noerror query: 15 msn.com Since I was curious, though, I thought I'd ask a BIND server myself. I did get a _massive_ 801 byte response from a relatively well-known (locally) public BIND cache... Perhaps your best bet _would_ be using dnscache. Do not fear setting up dnscache at all -- I have never installed or configured a simpler setup if all you want is a local cache: 1. download it. 2. untar it. 3. read http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/install.html. All you've really gotta do is create to UIDs and run dnscache-conf, and add one symlink, if you're already running svscan. :) HTH, GW

Once he's got the list of mirrors, he will, if he's smart, choose a mirror closer to him. Yes, we could in theory automate this, but that presumes somebody has actually created an accurate mapping of IP addresses to country. Dan's got the beginning of a list, but it's just a beginning. I might go ahead and use it, since it's better than nothing. And anyway, country is only a rough guide. What you'd *really* like to do is have a bit of code running on each mirror which measures a combination of hops and round-trip time. Then you'd enter their class-C network into a table that says "Send them to this mirror". -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | The most basic moral/ethical 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | question is who gets to use Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | force, and when -- ESR
Hi, How can I tell qmail-pop3d to keep a log of incoming pop requests. Is it possible without rewriting the code of qmail-pop3d? I mean, is there any patch or built-in support?
