Cannot Send Out email

[Anonymous]

Hi, I completed the installation without any errors according to the test scrip but when I tried sending some messages from the qmail server using the following command line, it does not go anywhere.

:x

#sendmail -i email@yahoo.com < install.log

All the messages seem to be in the qmail queue:

[root@jose control]# qmailctl stat

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your interest in my issue.

I am not sure where to look, here is a start and I have not noticed any error:

Looks like your queue might be pooched, I believe there is a script here on qmailrocks that rebuilds the mail queue. I know you can get funky errors like that if the permissions are wrong as well. what are the permissions on your /var/qmail/queue directory?

How should I rebuild if this is a problem?

[m-l-z]

At a glance it looks about right. I would try the file at http://www.qmailrocks.org/extra/ for rebuilding the queue.

Hi, I have all these messages sitting in the qmail-send/current files? Can I delete them or remove them without affecting new qmail function?

TIA,
esudo

You probably won't need to worry much about it, multilog rotates them for you automagically.

How long should I wait for the automatic clean up to take place? It has been three days, and they are still waiting to be proceess?
