Hello,

I am not sure what is going wrong, but qmail reports warnings about the
queue:

mail:/var/log/qmail/qmail-send# qmailctl queue
messages in queue: 15
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
warning: trouble with #163852: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #163858: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #163881: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #163860: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #165035: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #163863: file does not exist
warning: trouble with #163868: file does not exist
...

There are however mails in the queue that look fine, e.g:
23 Nov 2006 11:06:50 GMT  #163854  1170  <xxxx@xxxx.com>
        remote  yyyy@yyyyyy.com


When I check the files for such a message, it reports:

mail:/var/log/qmail/qmail-send# find /var/qmail/queue -name 163854 -ls
163854    4 -rw-r--r--   1 qmailq   vchkpw       1170 nov 23 11:06
/var/qmail/queue/mess/118/163854
163867    4 -rw-------   1 qmails   qmail          23 nov 23 11:06
/var/qmail/queue/info/118/163854
163871    4 -rw-------   1 qmails   qmail          22 nov 23 11:06
/var/qmail/queue/remote/118/163854

When I check the same thing, for a corrupted message, it is quite the same:

mail:/var/log/qmail/qmail-send# find /var/qmail/queue -name 163869 -ls
163869   12 -rw-r--r--   1 qmailq   vchkpw       8223 nov 23 05:03
/var/qmail/queue/mess/17/163869
163878    4 -rw-------   1 qmails   qmail           2 nov 23 05:03
/var/qmail/queue/info/17/163869
163879    4 -rw-------   1 qmails   qmail          27 nov 23 11:03
/var/qmail/queue/remote/17/163869

It doesn't seem to be a permission or ownership issue, nor am I missing
files in the queue directory.
Would anyone have a clue why those warnings pop up, and how can I get rid
of them?

Thanks!

Regards,
Renaud Drousies
