I have recently upgraded from Mandrake 8.2 to 9.0. For quite a few months I
have had a smoothly working qmail-vpopmail-ezmlm-qmailadmin set-up working.
The upgrade seemed to have caused no problems.
I have just tried to add a new domain and received the following error. (I
have changed the domain name to ????? and the password has also been mangled
to protect the innocent.)
[root@server bin]# ./vadddomain ???????.com 4563??
qmail-newu: fatal: bad format in users/assign
Error: Domain does not exist
After this error, the domain name exists in /home/vpopmail but the domain
folder itself is empty - no postmaster or any other file.
When I open the file /var/qmail/users/assign there seems to be a normal
entry as below -
(snip)
+???????.com-:???????.com:399:399:/home/vpopmail/domains/???????.com:-::
There is one line a white space at the top of the file if this is
significant.
When I try to remove the domain using ./vdeldomain I get
Error: Domain does not exist
I have tried re-installing vpopmail (5.2.1) but no change.
Where should I now look or what should I re-install. Apart from trying to
add a domain, everything has been wonderfully trouble free.
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Rick Phillips
