Greetings list:

To make a long story short; I've installed QPopper on a new system but am
running into an error I can't find a resolution to, so I thought maybe
someone could help.

I am using QPopper4.0.4 on a RH7.1 Alpha machine with the ./configure
--enable-specialauth because I'm using shadow passwords.  The ./configure
went smooth without errors.

I have added/commented the /etc/xinetd.d/pop3 file with suggested info for
the xinetd configuration and added the line to the /etc/hosts.allow file.

I can successfully 'telnet server pop3' and get the +OK Qpopper... starting
message and can log in to the POP account.

I can use a POP account via web page to read the present contents of the
mail directory (meaning I can log in), but I cannot send nor receive new
mail from the POP account.

The error_log shows this error when troubleshooting the qpopper -s command:
 /usr/local/sbin/popper[3551]: Unable to obtain socket and address of
client: Socket operation on non-socket (38)

popper -v produces 'Qpopper version 4.0.4 (non-standalone)'

My questions are:  what did I miss, and where is the error stemming from?
My installation or another kind of problem?

Thanks in advance,

-Tony
