- Check these things:
-
- Do you have a directory /usr/spool/mqueue
-
- Are the permissions on /usr/spool/mqueue 775
-
- Is /usr/spool/mqueue owned by root with group set to mail?
-
- Does /usr/lib/sendmail.cf contain a line which reads "OQ/usr/spool/mqueue" ?
-
- If you answered yes to all of these things, then try this (as root):
-
- cd /usr/spool
- mv mqueue mqueue.old
- mkdir mqueue
- chmod 775 mqueue
- chgrp mail mqueue
- /etc/killall sendmail
- /usr/lib/sendmail -q15m -bd
-
- If this works, then try moving the files from mqueue.old back over into
- mqueue (except for qfAA00371). Then delete qfAA00371 and the mqueue.old
- directory.
-
- Hope this helps..
