Qmail issue with temporary file

J

Guest
I am getting the following error when I try to send an email:
Dec 15 21:48:16 xx qmail-queue-handlers[22057]: Handlers Filter before-queue for qmail started ...
Dec 15 21:48:16 xx qmail-queue-handlers[22057]: cannot create temporary file - (2) No such file or directory
Dec 15 21:48:16 xx qmail-queue-handlers[22057]: cannot read message from stdin

Any ideas what directory is missing or how I can fix this problem?

Make sure that you have correct permissions there

# cd /var/qmail/bin
# ll qmail-queue qmail-local qmail-remote
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 29952 2009-09-12 08:46 qmail-local
-r-s--x--x 1 root qmail 30336 2009-09-12 08:46 qmail-queue
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root qmail 30216 2009-09-12 08:46 qmail-remote

Also you can just reinstall with force psa-qmail package.
 
I am trying to use this to rebuild qmail: http://kb.odin.com/252

But what is psa-qmail... supposed to be? i tried putting in psa-qmail and psa-qmail-1.03-cos5.build86080930.08 (which is what rpm -q psa-qmail gave me) and both gave me errors.

What is the full rpm command I need to use to rebuild qmail?

Igor,

My permissions are the exact same as what you are showing.

Can you be more specific about 'force psa-qmail package'? Thanks.
