how are you running qmail-popup in inetd.conf? when you telnet to the POP
port, does it say <XXXXX.XXXXXX@checkpassword>? if so, you might be having
the same problem i was having. here's my line from inetd.conf:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd
/usr/sbin/qmail-popup hostname checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir
(this should be all on one line)
in the man page, it just says to use qmail-popup <hostname> ... in
inetd.conf, but that gave me the <XXXXXX.XXXXX@checkpassword> weirdness and
the $HOME/Maildir error. i decided to try putting /usr/sbin/tcpd in front of
it, and all of my problems went away. it now shows <XXXX.XXXXX@hostname> and
works wonderfully. :) now only if it did some logging...
