Ok let me explain again the problem, fastforward refuses to send email for
the root account using the following:
1. Before we installed fastforward it was working fine with a
"~alias/.qmail-root" file with this in: "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
2. After creating "~alias/.qmail-default" with "|/var/qmail/bin/fastforward
-d /etc/aliases.cdb" root mail was refused with the error messages below:
Feb 16 13:02:20 dipsy qmail: 919170140.142274 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
Feb 16 13:02:28 dipsy qmail: 919170148.137147 starting delivery 198: msg
133306 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Feb 16 13:02:28 dipsy qmail: 919170148.137335 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
Feb 16 13:02:28 dipsy qmail: 919170148.308531 delivery 198: deferral:
fastforward:_fatal:_unable_to_exec_qq_(#4.3.0)/
3. I've tried deleting the .qmail-root alias and making an entry in
/etc/aliases with "root: gavinlew" in but it still refuses to delivery the
mail, giving exactly the same errors above.
If I do mailq -s I get the following (mailq script from qmHandle off the
qmail web page):
Messages in local queue: 76
Messages in remote queue: 0
All off the 76 messages as destinded to the root account but are having
trouble being delivered.
Any help on how to get it working would be greatly appriated.
Regards,
Chris.
