I have installed qmail from source on a RH 7 box. I followed lwq which was
very helpful. Here is my problem, qmail starts ok add allows connections
on port 25 and accepts mail, however the mail just sits in the queue and
is never delivered, the defaultdelivery is ./Maildir/ and I have the
.qmail files in the $HOME dir and the Maildir is owned by the user.
1. /var/qmail/queue perm
drwxrw-r-- 11 qmailq qmail 4096 Jul 1 04:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root qmail 4096 Jul 3 03:52 ..

3. qmailctl stat

4. Here is the only error I have been able to generate
> qmail-start ./Maildir/
alert: cannot start: unable to switch to queue directory
I did a search on this error and found a number of times on a few mailing
lists, however haven't seen a fix for it so this is what I tried
> chmod 755 queue
> qmial-start ./Maildir/
new error
>alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex
I'm continuing my search for the fix and I have read the docs but I may
have missed something, just point me in the right direction. If it is RH7
issue what do I have to do resolve it, does RH7 have buggy packages :)
Thanks for you help
