I had enough with qmail!!
please help me out.. I had qmail setup (after a long fight!) and finally got
the tests TEST.receive and TEST.deliver went without problems...
Now, as it seems to be there are no problems, can someone help me out WHY I
am getting this beautiful (please feel free to change the word beautiful to
anything you might think of!!) error from my outlook express which runs on
another computer on the lan!! (192.168.1.2)!!
I did the following :
qmail-pw2u
and then qmail-newu
and rebooted linux ..
and still get this error!!
The Error:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'hatem@hahlabs', Server: '192.168.1.1', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir', Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Does $HOME/Maildir give you a hint?? although I have ./Mailbox in my
defaultdelivery!!
I do not know where it gets the that from!!
Can someone help the poor little me!!
