Hi all,
I've managed to break qmail-send, and for the life of me, I can't work out a
rhyme or reason. I know why at a superficial level it's broken, but not
**why** the damn thing suddenly decided to be unhappy now.
I'm using qmail 1.03, vpopmail 4.9.8, rh7.1, daemontools 0.70.
Has been working fine until this evening, when I restarted the services
after making changes to the run files ( to add a fix for wrong timestamps -
adding TZ=CST6CDT to the env statement).
Tried sending an email, and it didn't work. No errors - just didn't work.
Had a little bit of a dig, and discovered that the server was saying:
env: "./Maildir/: No such file or directory"
which had me a little perplexed.
I eventually worked out that the service starting it wants a Maildir
directory in /service/qmail-send/ , but then returns an error:
env: "./Maildir/: Permission denied"
The service is started with:
exec /var/qmail/rc
which in turn is:
#!/bin/sh
# Using stdout for logging
# Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by
default
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH"\
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
I played with giving qmailx (where x is vpopmail, l,r,s etc) permission to
read/write/destroy the Maildir in question, to no avail.
Have tried running the rc file, and the qmail-start command by hand without
joy.
So here is my conundrum:
I don't need a default delivery because I'm using vpopmail, yet I can't
start qmail-send without it. The Maildir in question doesn't exist, and when
I create it doesn't appear to satiate the beast.
Obviously I've changed something else between when qmail-send was last
started and now (umm... how many months?) so I have absolutely no idea what
has changed.
user directories don't have Maildirs in them. Vpopmail users do, in
~vpopmail/domains/<user>/Maildir
Help!
A very tired, confused and cranky Chris.
