Make sure that qmail-send is up and running, you can use qmailctl or you can run "svstat /service/qmail-send" --- as long as it's been up more than 1 or 2 seconds, then you're doing well. If it's only been up for 1 or 2 (or maybe even 0) seconds, then you have a problem with your qmail-send run script. If it's been up for much longer, then either your mail isn't getting *into* the queue, or it hasn't been able to send it. You can use "qmailctl queue" to display what is currently in the qmail queue---if you just sent mail, it should show up. If it doesn't show up, you need to find out why: try to send mail, and watch your qmail logs: they should indicate a new message, and should tell you what happens to it. If not, send us more information, like the output of qmail-showctl and the contents of your run files. ~Kyle -- Nonsense. Space is blue and birds fly through it. -- Heisenberg
