Qmail on Redhat 4.0
Hi all...
I have just installed the Qmail 0.96 rpm but the daemons won't start.

The message in maillog is "alert: cannot start: unable to switch to queue directory"

Any clues?

Thanks JimB...

Maybe you got some ownerships/permission wrong?

Try looking at the qmail-1.00.tar.gz package. It *really* is easy to
install, and there are enough documents about installing in that package.
