Hi,
1) Install qmail from ports, It get installed in the /var/qmail directory.
2) Install vpopmail from ports. Set the vpopmail directory to
/home/vpopmail.
2) Add an entry at the end if the inetd.conf file
        pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/pop3
3) Now we need to create a file /var/qmail/bin/pop3. Open a new file
/var/qmail/bin/pop3 in an editor. Add the below line in the file.
        /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup your.hostname.com
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
        where your.hostname.com should be replaced by the hostname of your
server.
4) Give a HUP signal to the inetd process.

Thats It.
Your pop3 server will be up and running.

You can mail me back if you are stuck at any point.

Cheers

Hello,
I'm trying to find a guide/walk-through/howto on installing postfix/qmail on
freebsd, along with a pop3 server. I've been searching on google for awhile
now, anything i've found is old and/or doesn't talk about setting up pop3.

Thank you!
