Re: what does "deferral: qmail-local_crashed./" mean?

+ Shaya Potter <spotter@...>:

| that file's permissions made it unwritable to qmail which caused the crash.

But even that should not cause a crash.  The relevant code is in
qmail-local.c, in function mailfile():

 fd = open_append(fn);
 if (fd == -1)
   strerr_die5x(111,"Unable to open ",fn,": ",error_str(errno),". (#4.2.1)");

So you should see the message "Unable to open ...: . (#4.2.1)".

Something tells me that your qmail installation or OS is broken.
