RE: Qmail - Startup and POP3 Problems

[Andrés Méndez]

Hello.   qmail-pop3d only works with /Maildir/ boxes (read the FAQ and Life with qmail). If you want to use /Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/ you'll have to install another pop3 daemon.   Have you installed checkpassword?   If you want to enable a /Maildir/ for a user execute this as the user: /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir echo ./Maildir/ > ~/.qmail ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Gatti To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 05, 1999 7:40 PM Subject: Qmail - Startup and POP3 Problems Hello everyone   I just installed, for the first time, the Qmail Mail Server on a RedHat 6.0 Box. Although I tried my best to install the software as explained in the docs, I still encountered 2 (maybe simple) problems:   1º - The POP3 service is not initializing on startup, a have to go to the /etc/rc.d/init.d and manually start qmail-pop3d.init (./qmail-pop3d.init start)   2º - When I test the POP3 service, after I start it manually, telneting the POP3 port (telnet 192.168.100.1 110) this is what I receive:   -------------------------   [root@exion /root]# telnet 192.168.100.1 110 Trying 192.168.100.1...
