Deleted qmail directories

Hi folks,

i accedently deleted all subdirs in the qmail directory /info /mess etc.

I created new ones, but the SMTP livelog says that it can't create e.g. /info/9/-messageid- .

Any chance of fixing this ?

Stupid question, but i wanted to get rid of the bouncing mails. I think i deleted too much [:)]

Problem solved...

I used a test box and installed Qmail on it, then just copied the setup. Had to 'touch' a few files and change some permissions but it now works!!!

Woohoo!!!

I think its a permission problem here, how to change back the owner "root" to owner "qmail" of the mentioned directories ???

re the permissions thing, yes it has to be done...

but the problem is that Qmail is running in a chroot, so what I did was copy the 'chown' & 'chmod' commands to the appropriate dir and then chroot to the qmail chroot dir. It is then possible to specify the correct permissions...

Did u get all that?
