<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=793460008-15072003>If
you're working in a chroot environment and send a mail, using the 'mail'
command, mail starts a sendmail process, but that sendmail is within the
chroot itself and so can't see the real system mailqueue (or its
configuration?). Is that your problem?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=793460008-15072003>You
could try using pine (or similar) configured to send mail to locahost:25
rather than invoking sendmail directly. You could even hijack the mail
command in the chroot environment and replace it with smtpclient (<A

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>I've done extensive testing and now
understand what's going on...but I don't know how to fix it.<BR><BR>When
MailScanner is running, all mail sent from any of the user accounts (on my
virtual domains), will get stuck on the server. In fact, it doesn't even go
into a queue directory anywhere. Each time a message is sent, it just sits
in the root of the virtual directory from which it came from.<BR><BR>When
MailScanner is running, each time I attempt to send a message I get two new
files in /home/virtual/fractalweb.com (which would be the root directory for
the virtual domain when it's chrooted). One file always starts with a "d"
and the other a "q"; the rest of the file name is the same.<BR><BR>My last
test generated these:<BR>-rw------- 1
root
root 3 Jul

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>If I copy these files to (the real)
/var/spool/mqueue and type "sendmail -q" then they're actually sent out.
Otherwise, they just sit there and collect dust.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>Incoming mail from the outside (my
server) world works great.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Courier New" size=2>My guess is there is some sort of
config file somewhere that needs a good tweak. Problem is...I'm stuck again
and I need help.</FONT></DIV>
