Hiya
My qmail installation went from working fine to acting strangely. I've get
the following in my maillog:
Nov 25 19:51:40 dookie qmail: 1038253900.810198 starting delivery 61: msg
1933 to local jon@localhost

Nov 25 19:52:17 dookie qmail: 1038253937.642429 delivery 53: deferral:
maildir:_not_found/
I can't find any reference to this error message on the 'Net. My Maildir
was created with makemaildir and certainly still exists:
jon@dookie:~# ls -arl Maildir

drwx------ 8 jon jon 512 Nov 25 16:00 .
(The extra directories were created by squirrelmail I presume).
My ~/.qmail is:
root@dookie:/home/jon# cat .qmail
|/usr/local/bin/spamassassin | maildir ./Maildir/
I notice that the perl processes created by spamassassin are around for
quite a while - is this to be expected?
If I stop qmail and restart it, the problem seems to go away and mail
delivery continues as normal. This is my rc script:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script starts and stops the qmail mail functions.
#
# Suck in the configuration variables.
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/defaults/rc.conf
source_rc_confs
elif [ -r /etc/rc.conf ]; then
. /etc/rc.conf
fi
case "$1" in
start)
case ${qmail_smtp_enable} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
# Start the qmail smtp daemon
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -c 255 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \

# Stop the smtp daemon

if [ "$smtppid" != "" ]; then
kill $smtppid
echo -n " qmail-smtp"
fi

kill $qmailpid

echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2

exit 0
Any clues as to what the problem is?
