Currupted opiekeys?

My mail server suffered a poweroutager yesterday and had an ungraceful shutdowm. After the power return, I notice /var/log/messages is being filled with this:
Jan 24 18:44:59 mailserv sendmail[11771]: OTP unavailable because can't read/write key database /etc/opiekeys: Permission denied

What is this? Looks like my mail server is still able to send and recive email. But SWA seem to be once again broken with the typical "Cant fetch server information error"

The file itself seem to be zero length, it is own by root and can only be rw by root.

Any pointers would be helpful

Hi,

we cannot know for sure what was toasted when your server went down. touch /etc/opiekeys will get rid of the message. This is not a Scalix issue necessarily.


Cheers,
