Hi Jose,

Simplist way to fix this is to go back to the source of qmail and do a:

make setup check.

It will re-create all directories.

It seems that your qmail installation is missing a lot of things :)

Alternatively, try http://www.qcc.ca/~charlesc/software/queue_repair/

The script will repair your var/qmail/queue directories.

Hahah thought so.

As for email, well you need to follow the LWQ tutorial and focus on the POP3
section of it. It will explain how to setup a POP3 server to download your
email from.

http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#pop-imap-servers

Alternatively, have a look at www.vmailmgr.org which is a virtual namebase
authentication system. It allows multiple domains to be hosted on 1 IP
address. Very nice toy :)

Enjoy!

Check your log files, they will tell you exactly why. Most likely because
qmail can't find the domain: shadow.icesi.edu.co

However, since your qmailctl queue states "local", then I would guess that
the user "jbravo" does not exist, or does not have a maildir setup.

In this case, do the following:

mkdir -p Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}

and then chown it to the user jbravo

chown -R jbravo:jbravo ~/Maildir

Hi Jose,

I don't use mailbox setup, as I prefer maildir. But if you google, or check
LWQ I am sure you'll find something on mailbox.

I tried the following setup with qmail AutoTURN

In the script
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

#!/bin/sh

QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z
"$LOCAL" ]; then
echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open relay"
exit 1
fi

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-wrapper 2>&1

I changed qmail-smtpd > qmail-smtpd-wrapper
and generated a wrapper /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-wrapper.
---------------
sh -c '
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
cd /var/qmail/autoturn
exec setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- $TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
'
--------------
I also tried with this wrapper
--------------
#!/bin/bash
PATH=$PATH:/var/qmail/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
ulimit -d 1024
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd ${1+"$@"}
cd /var/qmail/autoturn
exec /usr/local/bin/setlock -nx $TCPREMOTEIP/seriallock \
/usr/local/bin/maildirsmtp $TCPREMOTEIP autoturn-$TCPREMOTEIP- \
$TCPREMOTEIP AutoTURN
-------------
None it this works.

When I do
[user@tlc-4~]$ telnet 203.115.29.130 25
Trying 203.115.29.130...
Connected to 203.115.29.130.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[user@tlc-4~]$

and the server does not accept mail.
Help with this problem is very welcome

Thanks to everyone who replied,

I did a ./qmail-qread | grep "theirdomain.com" which was good enough as
it showed a list of the remote addresses awaiting email.
I did a ./qmailctl restart which OK, is a bit of a crowbar, but it did
it.

The qmail-send logs show:

@4000000044202e722dabfe64 starting delivery 79: msg 148206 to remote
gill.gilbert@theirdomain.com
@4000000044202e722dac3514 status: local 0/10 remote 1/255
@4000000044202e722e0837c4 delivery 79: deferral:
Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connection._(#4.4.1)/
@4000000044202e722e086a8c status: local 0/10 remote 0/255

So, qmail is working correct and its not our end with the problem!

1) run qmail-qread - to read the current queue.
2) qmail will try overtime to redeliver, 2hrs, 4hrs, 8hrs ... something
like that - bit of a guess that one.
3) "kill -ALRM" the qmail-send process. Or stop / start qmail
completely.

Hello Scott,

have a look at http://www.open-e.com

I'm just building a small NAS for our Mailserver based on this
product ( it's a complete NAS Solution with webinterface implemented
on a flash modul which can placed into a standard ide-port - x86
Hardware )
It supports a wide range of RAID-Controllers , Ethernetcontrollers ...
