There's a tool available from the qmail web site to check permissions on the queue. Likewise, your .qmail file (if you have one) may have things clogged up. > FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE on a P2-400, 128 MB, U2W > qmail-1.03 (from the ports) (Maildir folder format) > procmail-3.14 (from the ports) (run from ~/.forward) > fetchmail-5.5.1 (from the ports) (uses pop3s) > > Any ideas/pointers would be great :) Is sendmail still running? Or have you done something to enable ~/.forward? I've found that most of the stuff I used to do with procmail I can now do with qmail dot-files and a custom script or two.
