I did a dumb thing: I ran out of space on /var because of a large message sitting in /var/spool/mqueue, so I moved the contents of that directory over to /usr/mqueue, and symlinked /var/spool/mqueue over to that location. Then sendmail started complaining every time I tried to send a message. It says '451 queuename: Cannot create "qfBAA00619" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=0): No such file or directory' Fine. So I deleted my symlink and built a new, empty regular directory at /var/spool/mqueue. Same error. I can't send mail, and it's making me sad. The mailq command works, however (now that I've moved the queued messages back into /var/spool/mqueue). ls -l in /var/spool/ gives: ... drwxr-xr-x 2 root daemon 512 Apr 20 02:02 mqueue ... So why is it saying that mqueue doesn't exist? It still has a bunch of queued messages in it, and mailq finds them, so what's the problem? I don't like having to use this yahoo account while my server is broken. Please help. Dan Lazin _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
