OT: lost some mail while updating qmail-scanner

["J." <sw...@yahoo.com>]

I had some permissions trouble after updating a few things last night
and as a result mail was coming in but not getting to the place where
it could be "popped" by the user (me). The mail was coming in and being
handled by spamd because I could see action in the log file, but
nothing was showing up in my inbox when I ran pine. I got the trouble
fixed, but the mail that came in during the trouble period seems to be
lost. Does anyone know where I could look to find it? I can't even find
where my current mail gets queued before it's popped. I'm using
qmail/qmail-scanner/spamd/clamd/vpopmail/maildrop. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me recently and it eventually showed up. Although 
my setup's a little different, I think qmail keeps trying until it 
finally delivers.

Does qmail-cntl -stat show anything?

Further OT ...
Depending on how you set up your toaster (I used qmailrocks,) the group 
permissions need to be worked on. I think there needs to be a qmail 
group that qmail, clamav/whaterverav, scanner, spamd and vpopmail all 
belong to so everybody can access the dirs they need to.
