After you start qmail, look for a + qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 + line in syslog. qmail-send always prints either ``cannot start'' or + ``status''. (The big number is a splogger timestamp.) + +2. Do a ps and look for the qmail daemons. There should be four of + them, all idle: qmail-send, running as qmails; qmail-lspawn, running + as root; qmail-rspawn, running as qmailr; and qmail-clean, running + as qmailq. You will also see splogger, running as qmaill. + +3. Local-local test: Send yourself an empty message. (Replace ``me'' + with your username. Make sure to include the ``to:'' colon.) + % echo to: me | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject + The message will show up immediately in your mailbox, and syslog + will show something like this: + qmail: new msg 53 + qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20345 uid 666 + qmail: starting delivery 1: msg 53 to local me@domain + qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 + qmail: delivery 1: success: did_1+0+0/ + qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 + qmail: end msg 53 + (53 is an inode number; 20345 is a process ID; your numbers will + probably be different.) + +4.
