damn, im realy sorry for bothering you like that..
i fixed the problem with the pop3 thing, it was an error in the inetd.conf
file.. i hate when those little errors happen :-)))
anyway, now i have to transfer it to work with tcpserver, right?
where do you put the script for it?
in the /var/qmail/qmail-smtp/run ?

Hello
OK, i dont want the users to be system accounts, but how else can i
configure this to work?
where will i store the usernames and passwords if not in the /etc/passwd?
for the pop3 test - what i did is:
telnet mailer.domain.com 110
user user
pass pass
where the actual password for user user is pass
it says authorization failed
when i try this on the linux box directly to qmail-pop3d with the
checkpassword it works
please help... im getting very frustrated with this... :-(

You can make entries for these addresses in /var/qmail/users/assign,
and let the homedir field be /mailuser/dom1-sales, etc. Or if these
addresses have system accounts (which doesn't necessarily sound like
the best way to do it, but it seems that's what you're doing), then
you can let /mailuser/dom1-sales be the actual home directory for the
dom1-sales user. (How to change an account's home directory depends
on the kind of system you have; check your system documentation, we
won't necessarily be able to help you.)

What exactly did you do to test it? What exactly are you doing when
it fails?
