I have been trying to Enable Statistics Logging for qpopper on a Mac
OS 10.4.9 and one of the suggestions I received said to configure
qpopper in standalone mode (see below). I thought that since I was
going to re-configure qpopper I would just used the latest version
(4.1a5). After configuring in standalone mode, I restarted everything
and was unable to authenticate (pam). Looking at the pop3 file in
pam.d I saw;
# pop3 : auth account
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
I remembered from sometime back that I had taken one of the other
files in pam.d and used it for pop3 to make it work. This time I used
the imap file from pam.d and changed out imap with pop3. After doing
this everything worked.
# pop3 : auth account password session
auth required pam_nologin.so
auth sufficient pam_securityserver.so
auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
Through the process of elimination I found that the "auth sufficient
pam_securityserver.so" line had to be in there for it to work.
Thanks,
Jim
PS. I still haven't gotten statistics logging to work.
I had the same problem on MacOS X 10.3, it was resolved by using
standalone mode rather than running popper from xinetd.
Best wishes,

Hi All,
I have a small mail server running on a Mac G5 desktop OS X
10.4.9, using
postfix 2.1.5 and qpopper 4.0.9. I am trying to enable statistics
logging
and haven't had any luck. The earlier versions of OS X worked off
of an
inetd.conf file where I put in;
#pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/tcpd
/usr/libexec/popper qpopper -s
But the newer OS uses xinetd and I'm not sure how to enable the
logging. Can
someone please put me on the right path.
Thanks Much,
Jim
