Thanks for the help so far. I am still struggling to get this.
Original tcpserver pop3d line: # ps x | grep qmail root /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /usr/local/qmail/bin/pop5smtp /usr/local/libexec/popper > I've never heard of pop5smtp before. You should be using qmail-pop3d > instead. Just replace the line in your init scripts that launches pop5smtp > with the line that I gave you. Then either reboot or kill process 203 then > run the line with qmail-pop3d. I looked up pop5smtp and discovered that it is a Japanese pop-before-smtp program. (Homepage at: http://www.mimori.org/~h/pop5smtp/ for the curious) This is not surprising since the former admin here was Japanese. Anyway, I searched and poked and grepped and looked through Running Qmail, but I could not find a startup script anywhere that starts the tcpserver line above. I don't know where it is coming from. I went ahead and made a note of the command, then created a new script: # ls -l /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 174 May 10 14:12 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new* with contents: env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mydom.co.jp \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new Maildir & I then killed the original tcpserver process and executed this instead: # /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new & After that, I tried: telnet localhost 110, but got a Connection closed by foreign host. At this point, I also started getting tcpserver output on the console: tcpserver: status: 1/40 tcpserver: pid 68810 from 127.0.0.1 tcpserver: ok 68810 localhost.mydom.co.jp:127.0.0.1:110 localhost.mydom.co.jp:127.0.0.1::2919 tcpserver: status: 2/40 tcpserver: pid 68811 from 210.175.32.120 tcpserver: ok 68811 warabi.mydom.co.jp:210.172.82.227:110 :210.175.32.120::63876 tcpserver: end 68811 status 0 tcpserver: status: 1/40 tcpserver: end 68810 status 0 tcpserver: status: 0/40 It obviously wasn't working the way I wanted, so I killed the new tcpserver process and executed the old one to restore things. However, I still get the above tcpserver output on the console... :-( Anyone know what is going wrong here? Thanks, Shawn
