hi edward,
look in the manpage ;-)
you can see, that the directory qmail-pop3d looks in, is just set behind the
command as an option. so maybe you can call it by something like this in
your supervise-run-script:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u root`
NOFILESGID=`id -g root`
MAXPOP3D=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/concurrencypop3`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.pop3.cdb -c
"$MAXPOP3D" \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID SET.YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE 110
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup pop.dgn.de /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d . 2>&1
the interessting thing is: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d . (and here there is
the dot instead of "Maildir", maybe you need to set "./")
but i haven?t test this !!!
the real question is: why not deliver mail to a directory named "Maildir" in
the users home-directory? that?s the best way ...
bye
robert
ps: here comes the manpage from qmail-pop3d:
qmail-pop3d(8) qmail-pop3d(8)
NAME
qmail-pop3d - distribute mail via POP
SYNOPSIS
qmail-pop3d maildirname
DESCRIPTION
qmail-pop3d lets a user read and delete his mail through the network.
Mail is stored in a maildir called maildirname, normally Maildir, in
the user's home directory.
qmail-pop3d is normally invoked under qmail-popup, which reads a
username and password, and /bin/checkpassword, which checks the
password and sets up environment variables.
qmail-pop3d has a 20-minute idle timeout.
qmail-pop3d supports UIDL, TOP, and LAST.
qmail-pop3d appends an extra blank line to every message to work
around serious bugs in certain clients.
qmail-pop3d is based on a program contributed by Russ Nelson.
