unlink errors in scheduler log
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I recently downloaded and installed zmailer-2.99.49p4-1.i386.rpm, however
it seems to be having problems delivering mail on my local box. I'm not
sure if this is a problem with the configuration files in the RPM or
zmailer in general, but I figured I'd try here first. Just to clarify,
I'm running RedHat 4.0 on my home machine, connected to the net by ppp.
Whenever any kind of mail is sent (eg mail -s "test" kwn@localhost <
testfile), it's never delivered. The following are all of the relevant
log files I could think of attaching, including scheduler.conf
/var/log/mail/router:
========================================================================
: address: kwn
: address: kwn@localhost
add_seq: cannot open /etc/zmailer/db/fqdnaliases.idx mode "r"!
search_bin: cannot open /etc/zmailer/db/fqdnaliases.idx!
: deferred: IO:error: kwn@localhost
========================================================================
/var/log/mail/scheduler
========================================================================
scheduler: unlink(45441-181): No such file or directory
========================================================================
from syslog (mail.*)
========================================================================
Jan 4 14:28:38 sethanon router[181]: S.ofzvx45441: from=<kwn>,
rrelay=kwn@localhost size=96, nrcpts=1, msgid=?msgid?
========================================================================
I've grepped through the mailing list archives, but the only message which
seems to reference my problem never had the question answered. =) To my
novice eye, it seems like the problem is with scheduler, (though router's
problems may contribute). As I understand it, the error message indicates
that the scheduler can't unlink the message control file in
POSTMASTER/transport. I've looked through the config file for scheduler
and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary, but as I said, I'm very
new to the package. Whatever the problem may be, the POSTOFFICE/queue
hierarchy contains all of the test messages which I've sent.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
