These are two different things 1) pop authentication telnet hostname 110 user "enter your user@domain here" pass "enter your password" If it says OK each time then it authentication. 2) Email delivery echo "to: user@domain" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject It should show up in the users Maildir/new directory. If not, look at your qmail-send log file for answers. 3) Mail delivery from the outside world. This depends on your DNS.
