Thanks Dale, still no luck...same error message. Here is a little more
information that might tell someone that I have it configured wrong...
Say I have a user called johnd in /home/johnd I have a Mail and Maildir
directories along with a Mailbox file. In /var/spool/mail I have a johnd
link that goes to the /home/johnd/Mailbox
Does any of this sound like a misconfiguration?
Thanks
James

I just looked at my commented out entry in my inetd.conf for pop3
(before I switched over to tcpserver) and mine looks like this (all on
one line):
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
qmail-popup
atlas.teoi.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
The only difference is the pop3 . Look at the /etc/services for the
pop3 and see how it is listed there then just use what it has there on
the inetd.conf line. Some systems have pop-3 and other have pop3 .
