If you are setting up a new qmail mail server and find that mail is not sending and your log file
/var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current
is filling up with errors like
4000000050b4bf9c332262ac status: local 2/10 remote 0/255

Then this is down to a missing or badly permissioned directory.
If you are using vpopmail then check that your directories from
/home/vpopmail
down to
/home/vpopmail/domains/chrisnewland.com/chris/Maildir/new
all have owership
vpopmail:vchkpw
Finally, if you have built qmail to record all incoming and outgoing mail to a central folder then make sure that folder exists and is correctly permissioned.
