Okay. Thanks everyone who helped me. Qmail accepts mail and things seem to
be mostly better. Now I only have problem and I would very very grateful if
anyone could help me with it.
After qmail accepts a message from me, I assume it does it thing. Then I go
to my mail program (outlook express) and say for check new mail. It asks
for new mail, via pop3, and it comes back with nothing at all. I don't know
how to find the all the messages I send. Qmail is hiding/destroying my
mail! Could someone please tell me where to look and/or how to fix the
problem?
.qmail-root and .qmail-postmaster both are:
jeff
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
~jeff/.qmail is:
./Maildir/
~jeff/Maildir/ is owned by jeff and is a mail dir so it should work.
Doing an 'echo to:jeff | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject' doesn't show up
anywhere. Email to root get lost too.
Could someone please help me? Thanks everyone :-D
Jeff
