I guess the main thing is I do not know who/what perms /var/qmail/rc is
invoked, since it
is run as needed. It internally calls qmail-start. That may narrow it
down some more.

Perms are consistent (or are intended to be) all of the qmail perms
are ldap on another server.
That server (ldap) is O.K.
It looks to me like:
1) qmail-smtpd receives the mail and
2) invokes qmail-queue to put the reeived message in the queue.
3) qmail-send eventually get the message for delivery and
4) invokes qmail-lspawn for local or qmail-rspawn for remote and
5) if qmail-lspawn it then calls qmail-local or if qmail-rspawn calls
qmail-remote and
6) if qmail-local it then delivers it (this is what is not working).
if qmail-remote it is
up to the remote receiver to process it (I don't care not my
responsibilty...).
So, it appears to me that the possibilities are:
qmail-send runs as root,
qmail-lspawn runs as root, owner root.qmail, 0711
qmail-local runs as root, owner root.qmail, 0711
Anybody see anything out of whack here?????

I think you're on the right track with permissions (#1).
Don't forget to use the right mount options for nfs.
Also, various pieces of qmail run as various users. Are the user
*numbers* consistent across all machines?

My qmail is used on nfs, it shares control and a couple of other
directories all 3 of my machines
use the same version. I was working on re-arranging some of the nfs
stuff because we acquired
a RAID array, and I in-advertantly deleted the contents of it,
however, I had the same
install on the other servers, except no updated info, i.e.
assign,virtualdomains, rcpthosts,
so I copied them over after with the same permissions.
Currently, I switched smtp servers to see what qmail saw and did
upon receipt, I am getting the following
message:
delivery 139: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
It appears:
1) whatever program is trying to dispatch the mail to the
appropriate dir has no permissions
or
2) There is something different in one of the run scripts. This I
doubt, generally only things in
these is memory portion on smtp (I believe), have to look, I don't
do 'custom' programming on
these as a matter of practice.

How'd you recreate /var/qmail? There's a lot of stuff under there.
Have you tried rebuilding the qmail-toaster*.i386.rpm, then rpm
--freshen it?
If worst comes to worst, I think you'll be removing and re-install
all the toaster packages. :( Keep in mind, that might be the
quickest road to recovery.

Hi all -
I was browsing through the archives for somehting on this, maybe
someon knows off
of the top of their head... (fingers crossed). Here is the problem:
1) Qmail is receiving email, but not delivering.
Here is what caused the problem:
I in-advertantly deleted the /var/qmail directory, so all that
was working is not,
had to re-create.
This is what I have done so far:
1) recreated the 'assign' file.
2) recreated the 'locals' file.
3) recreated the 'rcpthost' file.
Pop is working, I can log into it just fine. It appears
qmail-send is not authenticating
properly. I get the following errors:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at daffy.frontierbroadband.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: <- this is a real email address,
couldn't resist a twist on it...
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
vuserinfo returns appropriate data.
This seems to be just related to the distribution only...
