Hi ya'll.
Glad I found somewhere for help for qmail =)
I just got my first computer and got freebsd 4.4 setup on it. When trying
to recieve messages through 110 I get:
-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir
I have checked the archives for this error, and all I could find was the
procedure
maildirmake $HOME/Maildir
echo ./Maildir/ > /usr/home/chandler/.qmail
which I have done, but I still see the error. I'm not entirely sure what
additional information you need, but please let me know. I'm pretty
pleased with myself that I've gotten this far, but I'm not sure what could
be the problem. I can send mail with no errors.
I'm using inetd instead of tcpwrapper, because I don't understand what tcp
wrapper does. I hope that doesn't make too much of a difference.
time to change classes.
Thank you for your help,
Chandler
PS - I've already heard, from a million people, that I should try an OS
that's not unix for my first computer. I don't need anymore suggestions
like that. =)
As is so commonly said on this list: Maybe you could show us some configuration
file. If we're really lucky, you'll show us the pop3 line of /etc/inetd.conf,
an ls -l of your $HOME and maybe even the results of `cat $HOME/.qmail`
enough said.
