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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
