I meant to post this to the list. I am still having problems with my pop3
authentication.

I am using tcpserver to start qmail. Here is my startup script (I hope this
isn't too long):

This was a telling test. When I execute the above, I get the -ERR "this user
has no $HOME/Maildir". However, this is untrue. I have created the Maildir
for the user using:
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
I did this as the user (not root), and I have verified that the user owns his
Maildir. I have also put a "./Maildir" line in my .qmail file. Everything
seems to be in order, right?
Thanks for the help.
