[vchkpw] Delete Mail-- Serious Issue!
Hi Folks, So I've been using 5.3.20 vpopmail and a more recent version of qmail admin. A client has set their mail to delete in qmailadmin, and it does the following in the log file: starting delivery 561960: msg 173243 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivery 561960: deferral: Unable_to_run_/bin/sh:_ status: local 1/15 remote 0/25 Why is it trying to run the shell? Their .qmail file says the following: | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete Which seems correct, especially considering qmailadmin put it there. Any ideas as to why this is happening? As it goes through the queue again and again it creates clogs. Thanks in advance, -Mike _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
