Ok, that worked great. I was able to kill the database and all of those
entries from the various files and I was able to recreate the database and
add my domains back.
Only one problem remains: I'm unable to pop into the account and get my
mail. There are no errors that I can see happening in any of the log files,
but I am popping like crazy and no mail is coming. I can see that the
messages were delivered to the right mailbox because I went to the
~vpopmail/domains folder and I could see the messages were stored in the
appropriate mailbox.
Here's an exceprt from my log file located at /var/log/qmail/pop3d/current
@40003f61fe982c0320c4 tcpserver: status: 1/40
@40003f61fe982c033c1c tcpserver: pid 22184 from 24.116.177.127
@40003f61fe982c0343ec tcpserver: ok 22184 0:192.168.0.50:110
:24.116.177.127::41746
@40003f61fe9835c5210c tcpserver: end 22184 status 256
@40003f61fe9835c53c64 tcpserver: status: 0/40
So there were no errors that I can see, and when I keep hitting the
Send/Receive button of my mail client (outlook) it adds another entry
similar to this in the log.
I don't know if this is related, but when I do...
ps -efl | grep "service errors" | grep -v grep
as suggested in Life With Qmail, I get...
0 S root 19866 19857 0 84 0- 336 pipe_w Sep11 ?
00:00:00 readproctitle service
errors:
Should I be worried about this? I get no other messages from running this
command. Maybe it's OK as is.

I am trying to wipe out everything and start from scratch. I tried using
"drop database vpopmail;" and creating it again using the instructions to
install vpopmail, but I'm unable to add the same domains back again. It
keeps saying the domain already exists. If I try to use the command
vdeldomain to remove it, it says the domain doesn't exist!
The reason I didn't use vdeldomain in the first place is because I had to
reload everything all over again and I was installing over the top of a
previous installation. I think all I need to do is wipe the slate and
start adding my domains back into a clean database.
How can I be assured that I'm wiping out everything and starting fresh?
In addition to removing the database/recreating it, remove the domain
directory, and the entry from /var/qmail/users/assign and run
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to update the assign cdb file.
