Qmail not mail redirect anymore

[jluerken]

Hi,

since my last update from plesk 8.1.0 to 8.1.1 my system is not redirecting mails anymore.

Example: I created an account [email protected] via plesk without a mailbox but with a redirect.

The mail is send to the server and in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog the following happens:

The mail is not delivered to the address entered as redirection destination.

Instead I get the following mail:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at domain.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[email protected]>:

/etc/resolv.conf looks fine

./qmHandle -L
Messages in local queue: 0
Messages in remote queue: 85

shows that there are a lot of mails to be delivered but none is send.

I checked /var/qmail/control/me and it looks correct.

I started /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mchk --with-spam and also the complete server but this also did not solve the problem.

Please assist cause I cannot get any mails from the system anymore

In /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog I get:

I logged on to the server via ssh
and wrote a direct mail

#> mail [email protected]

I received it without problems so I still believe that there is a config problem in qmail.

Have you had any luck in solving this problem. I am also running into it on a fresh build on 8.1.1 on a clean FC6 box.

 

[jluerken]

Yes its solved for me:

/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts should get the correct rights

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 644 Apr 16 11:18 rcpthosts

In /var/qmail/control/locals only localhost should be in. Rest can be deleted (make a backup before)

In /etc/passwd the qmail Users hat the wrong directory "/qmail" but it should be "/var/qmail"

Correct those three things and restart qmail /etc/init.d/qmail restart

This should fix your problem
