I have a new install of RH 5.2 on  a subdomain linux.oceania.net
I hope to have a mailing list set up here for our local lug.
I am installing memphis which I have done on several occasiions
but this time something is amiss.

qmail seems to be running fine and ps -aux gives

In /var/lock
there is
qmail        qmail-qmqpd  qmail-smtpd  subsys

Do these belong here?

I have checkpassword installed in /bin but when I try to collect mail
I get

Could not log into mail server
The server responded
This user has no $HOME/Maildir
Please enter a new password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ls /bin/checkpassword produses

-rwx------   1 root     root         4460 Dec 11 00:27
/bin/checkpassword

I am able to send mail to the user from outside and the messages
are in  /home/kevin/Maildir/new  but I cannot retrieve them.
Perhaps the updated rpms are different from other installs on other
machines?


Any thoughts on this kindly appreciated

Kevin
