I have installed Centos 5 on a new server and installed project gamera. The system accepts the emails, spamassassin and clamd scan and then the emails won't leave the queue. This is the third time I have done a PG install and have never had this issue. Any ideas guys?

/var/log/qmail current has "deferral: unable_to_read_control_files. (#4.3.0)" but I have no idea what to do next.

have you read this ?

Thanks for the link, but I feel that my problem may be a bit deeper. I seem to be missing a couple of those files and I'll dig around and find them. But when I try:

# qmailctl stat
bash: qmailctl: command not found

aWould the missing files cause that behavior?

I did a little research and found that the correct command with this version of qmail is qmail-showctl. Here is the output. Any clues from this?

All is well in the world! Thanks for pointing out that link jmackenz. Turns out that it wasn't missing files but ownership and permissions problem. Thanks again.
