Sorry about the subject but i had 2 previous posts with no response. I was
unsure if anyone saw them. Anyway I am running qmail-1.03-11 and ezmlm.
I installed the rpm src packages on a Redhat 5.2 system.
The problem i am having is that my Netscape, Eudora etc clients cannot log
into they're mailboxes via pop server.
I followed the FAQ "How do i set up qmail-pop3d?"
I installed uscspi-tcp and checkpassword. I put:
tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mymailhost \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
in my start up files.
When the above process is running I get the following message when trying
to log in via Netscape Mail.
"The mail server responded:
authrization failed
Please enter a new password"
I know that the password is correct because i ran the tests for
checkpasswd.
There is a file /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail-pop3d.init. What is this file for ?
Does this start the pop server on startup ? I stopped the above
process and tried to run this script and then log in via Netscape and I
get:
"The mail server responded:
this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Please enter a new password."
I know the password is correct. I set up $HOME/Maildir with cur/ tmp/
new/ subdirectories and the proper permissions but i still get the same
message.
thanks for your response.
