[Sheflug] Qmail queue directory hassles.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

Morning All,

 After upgrading to RH7 (then ripping out Sendmail, xinetd, down grading
gcc and libs, etc,etc) I've found that my qmail (v1.03) install is some
what dead.

 Local -> local mail is AOK.

 Local -> remote is useless.
 I don't do Remote -> local but it is also broken...

 Telnetting to port 25 yelds the following error - 

[baz@flux baz]$ telnet 192.168.0.1 25
Trying 192.168.0.1...
Connected to flux.localdomain (192.168.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
alert: cannot start: unable to switch to queue directory
Connection closed by foreign host.

The alert: line is from qmail...

 I've tried rm -rf /var/qmail/ and doing a make setup check again, and
I've tried running queue-fix, but the error persists.

 What is the problem, and how do I fix it? Even if this means
*completely* removing the Qmail install, in which case someone will need
to enlighten me to exact what is installed where - the install screens
don't give much info...

 Cheers.

 Baz.
