postfix - .qmail permission denied

[Adam123456]

Hi,

I'm helping resolve some server issues, and stumped by an issue with qmail/postfix.

Mail isn't leaving the queue, it's returning this error

Feb 12 23:12:01 XXXX postfix-local[64360]: System error .qmail: Permission denied
Feb 12 23:12:01 XXXX postfix-local[64360]: Wrong permissions for .qmail

All the files within /var/qmail/ are set to the user and group "popuser", and have the nessacery rwx permissions for the user/group.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why this might be happening/how to resolve it?

The OS is CentOS.

Thanks!

Hi IgoreG,

I've tried those steps already, but with no luck.

Thanks!

Try to run

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam

Reinstalling and switching the MTA (Postmark + Qmail) seemed to have fixed this.
