qmail stopped sending after upgrade

[devindull]

I upgraded from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 and qmail-inject/sendmail stopped working for our websites. The files are still there, and when you fill out a form on the website it acts like it sends but it doesn't.

Apache Error Log:

This isn't working from CGI or PHP files. It just started happening after the upgrade. Ideas?!?!?!?

We're running the FreeBSD4.9 version of Plesk.

I picked this up from here. I hope it is useful. I'm afraid I'm not much of a sys admin, about all I am useful for is research at this point..so it may be totally off the mark.

"> qmail-inject: fatal: read error

This can happen in a number of places in the qmail-inject.c code:

- You have set the QMAILMFTFILE environment variable to point to a file that
is unreadable by qmail-inject.
- /var/qmail/control/me is unreadable.
- The input is unreadable.

Obviously the last one is unlikely in your example. The first one is
unlikely since it's a function of qmail that isn't generally used by new
users. Thus, my money is on the fact that /var/qmail/control/me is
unreadable.

Further, I'm guessing that it is owned by root.root and that the perms are
600. - Peter Green : Architekton Internet Services, LLC "

What username:group and what chmod setting should "me" have? The problem seemingly has stopped because maillog said that a directory for drweb was making tmp files uncreatable so I fixed that, seems to work. But if "me" may create a problem, I might as well fix it incase something else that I haven't tried is still not working. Would save my friends from jumping on me later.... Thanks a lot.

I have the same issue on our VPS Server included running Plesk 7.5.4

SW-Soft gots a ticket from us, they checked and have found nothing.

IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THIS BULLSHIT QMAIL TO POSTFIX!

 

[manos]

I had the exact problem on my fedora box after upgrading from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4.
1. Have a look at the upgrade Page (plesk) and see if you left any (base) packages that you haven' t upgraded. If you see any perform the upgrade.
2. Stop qmail and xined. Rename the (qmail) queue directory to old_queue or something. Install (--force) qmail, drweb and all dependencies from the root (PSA) directory making shure they are the latest (7.5.4). Restart qmail, drweb and hopefully....
WARNING THIS MEANS YOY ARE GOING TO LOOSE ALL EMAILS IN QUEUE.

 

[graffix]

I resolved it on another way:

go to : /var/qmail/bin then ./qmail_install_post.sh

It reinstall all and after that you must restart all service with qmail, and it works again for a couple of days!

 

[devindull]

Yes well you two have an advantage, one being you can use RPMs and another being an INSTALL SH in your qmail/bin directories. I am using the FreeBSD version. Can someone answer my question?

What username:group and what chmod setting should "me" have? The directory "me" is found in /usr/local/psa/qmail/control or, wherever your qmail is, and then enter into the cd control.../var/qmail/control or something.

What username:group and what chmod setting should "me" have? The directory "me" is found in /usr/local/psa/qmail/control or, wherever your qmail is, and then enter into the cd control.../var/qmail/control or something.

The 'me' file looks like this:

ls -al /var/qmail/control/me
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           19 May  4 22:46 me

AFAIK, this should not be *nix distro specific.

The 'me' file should contain a single line which is the primary mail server host name, such as 'mail.yourhostingdomain.com' (whichever domain name you use as the controlling host domain for the server.)
