rebuild qmail queue on gamera

[dave22]

First, thanks for the great tool.

Unfortunately, I've run into some trouble. I had a misconfigured qmHandle running to clear double bounces and it corrupted the queue since it didn't stop qmail first. So I've tried to repair it with queue_repair.py and qmqtool, but couldn't get anywhere. After each tool made it's fixes, there were still errors...so...

I thought I would have to rebuild the queue from scratch.

I stopped qmail..

Code: Select all

svc-stop qmail 

(which for some reason only works half the time)

I've deleted the entire queue directory..

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/qmail/queue

and tried rebuilding it with

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/queue-repair/queue_repair.py --split 23 --create --no-bigtodo

without starting qmail again, after a few seconds both qmqtool and queue_repair.py show errors again. Doing ps -ef I don't see any qmail-send processes running.

So I have a few questions...
Is the gamera project including qmail compiled with big-todo or without? I was guessing without, but can't find any documentation.

Is the source of qmail saved on the server anywhere when doing a yum install qmail? How can I run a make setup check to rebuild the queue? ..or can I rebuild it a different way?

Am I even on the right track? I've been able to stumble through setting up gamera and spamassassin and everything and have learned a lot, but corrupt qmail queue's seem really confusing. Is there anything else I can post to give more info?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah I build it with big-todo, the source isnt on the system, but you can grab the srpm here: http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com

You can also try reinstalling the qmail rpm with --force, that should fix your queue permissions at the least.

Tried the --force rpm install and it still wasnt' delivering for some reason.

Ended up just removing project gamera (including qmail and qmail-scanner) and re-installing via yum and working like a charm again!
