Greetings:

I have installed qmail and vpopmail on a dedicated server. The hostname is 
inloc.inloc.com and there are 5 IP's on this machine. I've registered a domain name 
(ducaniveaux.com) to one of them, using a host-provided program called 'spectro', and 
I want to do virtual subhosting under it.

I receive mail as expected in the Maildir, 
/home/vpopmail/domains/ducaniveaux.com/postmaster/Maildir/new, but I can't retrieve 
it; I get a:
Connection reset by remote side (10054) message.

Is it perhaps because I don't have the DNS MX records set up correctly? There is no 
'named.hosts' file on my machine. Because this is a dedicated server, perhaps they are 
handling this elsewhere.
 
Moreover, when I installed qmail, I got the following message:
---
Checking local IP addresses:
127.0.0.1: Adding localhost to control/locals...
216.71.84.136: Adding inloc.inloc.com to control/locals...
64.33.89.34: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
64.33.89.35: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
64.33.89.36: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
64.33.89.71: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.
64.33.89.72: PTR lookup failed. I assume this address has no DNS name.

64.33.89.36 is the IP assigned to ducaniveaux.com. I used vadddomain and vadduser to 
add the ducaniveaux.com domain and [EMAIL PROTECTED] user. vpopmail added 
'ducaniveaux.com:ducaniveaux.com' to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains (it is not in 
/locals).

My control/defaultdelivery is set to ./Maildir/

Here's the relevant part of my qmail startup script:
#!/bin/sh

PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
    tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 \
    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup inloc.inloc.com \
    /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
    cd /var/qmail/supervise
    env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
    echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
    echo "."
    ;;
  stop)

I believe 'pop-3' is right; here's what's in services:
pop-3           110/tcp                         # PostOffice V.3
pop             110/tcp                         # PostOffice V.3

I haven't edited /etc/inetd.conf.

Anything else? :·)

Thanks for your help.
