Qmail Problem

[flave]

Since i've updated to V 8.1 I get en strange message by sending mail with oder to my server:

Remote host said: 451 qq unable to read configuration (#4.3.0)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

in the maillog i found the entry:
Dec 1 xxxx:xx myservername relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from xx.xx.xx.xx.9452 (gw.myip.some.ch.host.com) (while try sending a message from my mailaccount)

i tried it from several ip's but i havent got any success till now.

Any ideas?

Check flag "set group ID on execution"
on
/usr/local/psa/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

 

[flave]

sorry havent got a folder in the /usr/local/psa/ dir called qmail, but /var/qmail/bin.

But my problem is, i don't understand what do you mean with Check flag "set group ID on execution"

 

[ItMan]

Yes. it must look as:

-------------------------- Chmod command --------------------------┐
│   - Permission -------------------┐  - File -----------------┐   │
│   │ [x] set user ID on execution  │  │ Name                  │   │
│   │ [x] set group ID on execution │  │ qmail-queue           │   │
│   │ [ ] sticky bit                │  │ Permissions (Octal)   │   │
│   │ [x] read by owner             │  │ 106511                │   │

│   │ [x] execute/search by owner   │  │ qmailq                │   │

│   │ [ ] write by others           │  an option, ARROW KEYS       │
│   │ [x] execute/search by others  │  to move between options     │
│   L--------------------------------  and T or INS to mark        │
│                                                                  │
│                     [< Set >]       [ Cancel ]                   │

try to reinstall the qmail rpm with rpm -i --force. if you have updated with the plesk updater you should find the files in /home/psa/PSA_8_1_0/something/

i dont know excactly the installaion on debian. maybe you have to make a .deb with alien, and install it with dpkg -i --force . but im not sure

Idont know why im permission denied, beacuse im loged as root

 

[flave]

hm.. Im not sure you have understud me. I know my english is rubbish.

I only tried help you to overwrite de existing package. i think if you try to remove qmail, all dependend files wont removed too.

 

[silebis]

my english is ugly too.

I try install/reinstall and always i get error with f* mailman that i permission denied.

Maybe this is creator of all my problems. Who knows.

Use the full email address as the outgoing username. It used to accept just the username, but since the upgrade this no longer works.

silebis,
I had the same problem right after changing to a new ISP. I found out that my new ISP doesn't allow outbound smtp traffic unless its pointed to one of their mail servers and you have a valid username and password.

Once I found this out, I changed my outbound smtp server config to my new ISP server with their username and password, and I was able to send fine again.

Just a thought ...
