Hi Guys,
I'm a qmail newbie and just installed qmail 1.03 in RED HAT 6.2. Followed installation
instructions from Life w/ qmail.
Including all the packages like daemontools and ucspi. I think I followed it all,
double checking on the scripts and
the directories to make, link files, ownerships, removing sendmail, aliases. By the
way i'm using the ./Mailbox as my
mailbox. After the installation I test it using the instructions given on
TEST.deliver. It was successful cause I was able
to send to my account & to another user by checking their mailbox. Then I tried the
test.receive using the smtp.
I was able to follow the instructions given on the test.receive. But when I checked
the mailbox, mail was not received,
instead there was a mailer-daemon message...

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not
a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software.
If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created
with the data reset to initial values.
Then I checked the maillog it says:
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire log/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-send/supervise/lock: temporary failure
supervise: fatal: unable to acquire qmail-smtpd/supervise/lock: temporary failure
I checked if qmail daemons are running by ps command:
root 21084 21083 0 17:09 tty2 00:00:00 supervise qmail-send
root 21086 21083 0 17:09 tty2 00:00:00 supervise qmail-smtpd

root 21798 657 0 19:37 tty2 00:00:00 grep qmail
I think it's running ok.
Well, I tried to double check againg all the installation instructions to make sure I
didn't forget anything.
But still same errors occurred.
Anyway I would really appreciate if someone would help me with this.
thanks,
mark
