Help, I broke my mail server
I broke my qmail server. I tried to erase the mail queue. It was crapped up with a bunch of messages that couldn't be sent, and they had been there for several weeks. So I went in to the /var/qmail/queue/mess and the other directories that had the files in them and did an `rm -rf *`. Anyway, now I get a: qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0) message when I try to send mail. What did I erase, and how can I fix it. I'm sure its related to erasing the queue because it just started after I did that. Heres what an `ls -al` on that dir looks like, I already tried chmod 777 to see if may I screwed permissions up: drwxr-x--- 11 qmailq qmail 512 Jun 30 20:03 . drwxr-xr-x 12 rootqmail 512 Jul 3 02:54 .. drwx-- 2 qmails qmail 512 Jul 9 20:32 bounce drwx-- 2 qmails qmail 3072 Jul 9 20:32 info drwx-- 2 qmailq qmail 512 Jul 9 20:32 intd drwx-- 2 qmails qmail 3072 Jul 9 20:33 local drwx-- 2 qmailq qmail 512 Jun 30 20:03 lock drwx-- 2 qmailq qmail 3072 Jul 9 20:35 mess drwx-- 2 qmailq qmail 512 Jul 9 20:42 pid drwx-- 2 qmails qmail 3072 Jul 9 20:35 remote drwx-- 2 qmailq qmail 512 Jul 9 20:32 todo

What did I erase, and how can I fix it. You've got several options: -do make setup check from the qmail source directory -download, compile, and run queue-fix (link from qmail.org) -try my new program queue-repair, available from the link in my .sig Basic documentation is now included in the tarball, and is also available on the website.
