I'd like to add a question on to James' problems. I'm doing
the same thing, my setup is working, but if a user enters
a bad password, he gets the message as shown below. Is there
really a process crashing? And is it not cleaning up after
itself? So this could end up causing problems later? Also,
when someone doesn't log in correctly and I get that child
crashed message, there is no mention of the connection in the
logs, that is not good, someone could hit my server all day
using brute force and I'd never know...
Thanks,
Dave

Subject: ERR Authorization failed w/qmail-pop
I have setup qmail+qmailadmin with all associated packages. I have set up a
few accounts via qmailadmin and am able to send messages with out a problem.
Now I want to use pop3 to get messages from qmail.
I have qmail-pop running as I used the example in #12 of INSTALL in vpopmail
package. I installed checkpassword but I always get -ERR authorization
failed even using a valid password.
I tried accessing the pop server via Outlook Express to verifiy that pop
server is running and it is because it gives me the error:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'abcd', Server: 'xyz123.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR aack, child crashed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
Any help would be appreciated as I am stuck here.
