qmail permissions and smtp_auth problem

[Thratchen]

Ive had some problems with my qmail (FC3/7.5.4) install but have managed to fix most things.

I can now recieve mail but sending emails is still not working.

My mail client is already configured with my password but all of a sudden it wont accept it, requests the password again and spits this into the /var/log/messages

Sep 12 13:48:38 domainname smtp_auth: SMTP connect from [email]unknown@host-xx-xx-xx-xx.bulldogdsl.com[/email] [xx.xx.xx.xx]
Sep 12 13:48:38 domainname smtp_auth: smtp_auth: exit 2 at point x

there is also in the /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

this may be a permissions based problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't tried it but the usual recommendation is to reinstall the psa-qmail package to fix the permission issues with the queue. Search the forum for instructions, it comes up quite frequently.

What I do know that works is a tool called queue-fix, and I have used it on FreeBSD in the past to resolve permission issues with Qmail.

Try:
chmod 644 /var/qmail/users/poppasswd
chmod 644 /var/qmail/users/assign

It helps me, but it is not clear resolution.
