Default Re: qmail doesn't receive mail

check out /var/qmail/doc for the files TEST.delivery and TEST.receive

It contains step-by-step test procedures and is very 'educational'.

tip: do you have qmail-scanner installed? check out the 'sticky-bit'
problem as discussed in qmailrocks.org. if the scanner doesn't have the
sticky permissions, then it can't scan mail and there's no mail delivery...

Tip.2 another cause: stopping qmail while it was processing mail can
hang qmail ; reboot or killall is the answer in that case.


greetz & good luck!
