Hmmmm....is ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp a file I should have manually created at some point in time (touch open-smtp)? It does not currently exist, and probably explains why the pop-before-smtp has never functioned. I'm going to assume this file should be owned by vpopmail:vchkpw. Where I'm also lost, then, is that my /etc/tcp.smtp and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb files are both owned by root:root at present (this seems incorrect to me) and are both chmod 644.
I am, btw, using a mysql backend, too...I second Jesse's comments... > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonas Pasche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 3:36 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for > -enable-roaming-users? > > > Hi Ben, > > > Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere -- I didn't see > it.
