Resolution
This is a kind of permission error. Check "/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog" for errors. This usually happens when there are incorrect permissions on qmail binary files, such as:
# ls -l /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 drweb qmail 158268 Aug 16 11:08 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 158268 Sep 13 2004 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.drweb
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 12044 Aug 17 13:57 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.origin The permissions must be:
# ls -la /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue*
-r-s--x--x 1 drweb qmail 161024 Oct 11 13:31 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue
-r-s--x--x 1 drweb qmail 161024 Oct 11 13:31 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.drweb
-r-s--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 16012 Aug 24 13:21 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.origin Otherwise, files in the qmail queue are created with incorrect permissions and qmail can't write to the "drweb temp" directory.
Fix permissions for the queue files with the following command:
for i in /var/qmail/queue/mess/*; do chown qmailq:qmail $i/*;done If you have Dr.Web installed on the server, read article #1552.
