I have installed qmail and it seems to more or less work.
I can connect to POP3 but my usernames/passwords are never authorised. I am
using the setup as described in the FAQ.
I am using SuSE Linux.
Any help appreciated.
Sorry, I'm very new to setting mail servers and I'm not sure what you mean!
Where do I put these settings? I don't really understand what is meant by a
virtual domain in this context.
My goal is to pruduce a mail server for a windows 98 network. All my users
will access by SMTP and POP3 and wi
some_domain

When running maildir2mbox it complains the MAILTMP is not set. It
is! Seems like a bug.
e.g.
>MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
>MAIL=$HOME/mbox
>MAILTMP=$HOME/.mailtemp
>maildir2mbox
Error. MAILTMP not set (or something like that)

If I install qmail as per basic instructions (I am using uspci and
daemontools package)
I have set the default delivery to be a ./Maildir/. I can created (using
maildircreate) the directory /home/fred/Maildir.
Can I (a) use mail to send a messsage like this.

PS It took me about 10 minutes to get sendmail/pop3/smtp working and
then I started reading about setting up virtual users... ok, I see!!

OK I need your help, and I will be polite this time.
I have installed qmail as per Adam McKenna's howto. I have checked my work,
and unless I have severely not understood something it is correct.
I have used maildirs as I wish to use qmail-pop3d, but I haven't done
anything about that at the m
will have a close look at the /var/qmail/rc file tomorrow when I get to
work, if I don't spot anything I will post it and see if anybody can spot the
problem.
Thanks so far for everybody's input

I did it like this because it is in the HOWTO, I don't understand what
those parameters do!
I am off to try your version, wish me luck!

Sorry guys, need a bit of advice.
I have (at last) the basic system working properly, and now I need to add
POP3. If you don't mind I will ask about a few things I don't get before I
go off and screw it all up again.
I need...
POP3/SMTP access for virtual users, no local users at all
Sorry, forget the bit about password veriification, I got the right bit in
the INSTALL for vpopmail!! I really just need to know what the best thing
to do with the pop3 startup script is.

I may be posting this in the wrong place - sorry if so.
I am trying to install qmailadmin, I run the ./configure script and it
complains that it can't find my autoresponder binary. Err... what is it
going on about. What does an autoresponder binary look like, am I likely to
have one, and if no
me
a few years though at this rate.
