Hi Mick,
I'd double check how you start pop3-d. In your previous post you
showed your xinetd.conf (inetd ) line as the following...
/sbin/tcpserver -c 200 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
cheech.mtco.com
/bin/chechpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Mailbox &
Showing that you are using Mailbox for delivery, but in later
messages you talk of Maildir delivery. These are two very different
things.
Mailbox appends each new message to the $HOME/Mailbox file, where as
Maildir writes a single file for each new message to
$HOME/Maildir/new.
Try changing the xinetd.conf line to read Maildir instead of Mailbox.
Just my two cents worth.
Good Luck
Dean
