Hi Akos,

I think, you need to explain a little deeper what the problem is.

Ok. Is it running on Jessie?

Hm. By means of the 'sendmail' facility?

Did you check, that the 'sendmail' on your system is linked to qmail's /var/qmail/bin/sendmail ?

Jessie is not a mailer

Do /usr/sbin/sendmail and /usr/lib/sendmail point to their correct
locations?

Debian Jessie, I presume?

service exim4 stop
apt-get install exim4- lsb-invalid-mta
rm -f /usr/lib/sendmail
rm -f /usr/sbin/sendmail
# and now link in qmail binaries from where you put them
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

Note the unusual usage of apt-get install, where we specify a
package to be removed with a trailing - as well as a package
to be installed (to satisfy dependencies for an MTA).

Great hint.

a) It is required to remove the exim4 application entirely from the system, thus

b) an *upgrade* will not recognize the app and will not reinstall it; because otherwise

c) exim will be re-installed and conflicts with qmail.

I found the same situation and exim did a local delivery on 'localhost' while qmail did the rest.

I fact. exim was bound to localhost while qmail (which was started later) took the other ports.

Best regards.
