Thanks Jake,
I've adjusted the run file like below and it connected although it took
close to 40 seconds... which is tooo slow for a connection on LAN... Any
ideas on what else i should tweak? here is the run file
#!/bin/sh
PASSPROG="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw"
HOSTNAME=`hostname --fqdn`
exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 9000000 \
/usr/bin/tcpserver -H -v -R -c 200 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \
$PASSPROG /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
ALex
