HOW-TO: QMAIL & E-Mail not being sent |
| Description |
maybe this will help |
| Message Text |
I was having a problem with e-mails not being sent with an error:
qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)
..showing up in my server log.
First let me explain the configuration since it's relevant.
- Virtuozzo+Plesk vps with physical hosting of a domain BUT not acting as DNS or EMAIL servers for the domain -- I'm using the registrar for DNS and EMAIL.
- no other domains being hosting however the VPS is acting as a second master DNS for domains hosted on another server. There is no email services being provided at all to anything on the VPS.
..in a nutshell I am not using the VPS in it's typical role.
Anyhow since the 1 site is physically being hosted but no real e-mail services are being used on the VPS the PHP+Qmail was in a kind of incomplete configuration for mail() to work. If I'd have set the domain up as is typically done on a Virtuozzo+Plesk VPS, providing DNS and email services to the domain this problem would not have occured.
Anyhow, the jist of it is I located qmail-queue (/var/qmail/bin) and confirm its' group/owner is qmail/qmailq and then chmod the file to 4511. For reference the permissions UID/GID should become exactly like qmail-queue.origin which is also in the same directory. |
