everything works so far.....except email

[ukdeveloper]

This is my first attempt using da (cpanel convert)

I have installed da on a new vps, and finally (after a few tweaks) got it working.

I transferred dns of a test site, and its showing the holding page on the DA server, which is good. The only thing is I cannot get email to work at all.

Mail which DA is SENDING is in the queue but will not send, and mail TO the account in DA is not being delivered either.

Sorry if i have not given enough info, but as mentioned i am really new to DA so any help would be great.

Thanks

C

You could check the permissions on /dev/null using:

ls -la /dev/null

If this is set to anything less then: crw-rw-rw- (666) this might be the cause (personal experience). If so chmod to 0666:

chmod 0666 /dev/null

Hold your breath and the queue should run clear. New mails should arive on and leave your server

Make sure that your recheck these permissions after a reboot. In some cases the permissions on /dev/null are reset during the reboot.
