Qmail Setup Problem

Qmail Setup Problem

Post by Tomas Mazukn » Sat, 09 Aug 1997 04:00:00



HI GURUS

I am installing Qmail on my Slackware box for first time and have only
one problem:

Qmail can't deliver messages to local users, but sends mail to other
mashines. Qmail allways is invoked from the network by NT boxes.

The QMAIL report line in messages :

Aug  8 08:36:08 gate qmail: 871018568.466456 delivery 84: deferral:
Unable_to_open_./Mailbox._(#4.2.1)/

Maybe someone knows where the problem is?

Thanks for your help.

Are you running as root?  qmail by design will not deliver to root.

Please give a whole session from sending a mail (it is usually all the
lines starting with Aug  8 08:36:08). It might be caused by not having the
right permissions on ~/ (your homedir).
