Hi Randall
Thanks for the reply! I put a blank space after the tls and it worked! Now for the patch in the makefile. I had noticed As I had moved from openssl 0.9.7x to 0.9.8x that it did not linked properly with the libraries. When I typed make the linker failed with errors. This was due as some people suggested in the openssl-users email list (as that time I did the transition this list had problems with the posts) to the missing -ldl parameter in the libraries section of the makefile in the popper directory. I added this parameter _-ldl_ and the make worked fluently!

Thanks A lot for the replies All of you!

Why did you need to patch popper/Makefile? What did you use for ./configure?

The server works in plain sessions on port 110 but dies with the following error message
 Expected comment or end of line; found ""
 at line 2 of config file /etc/mail/qpoppera.config
I must address that I kept the same configuration with qpopper 4.0.9 witch I used already. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions

This looks to have been introduced in 4.0.12 as part of allowing "announce-expire" to be set to -1. This change will be backed out for 4.0.13 (with a better fix in 4.1b9). For now, try changing your /etc/mail/qpoppera.config file so that for TLS options that take file names, either put the file name in quotes, or just add a blank space after the file name.

Please let me know if this fixes it for you, and also about why you needed to modify popper/Makefile.

Thank you.
