so i managed to install sendmail and configure it properly (i hope) and then i went searching for pop3/imap daemons and decided on the university of washington's ipop3 server built it, installed it
and here's the good news: i _can_ connect to the linux box from a windows box via pop3 but the bad news: it doesn't work. i get the following error in /var/log/maillog: Jul 30 11:18:06 <servername> ipop3d[20708]: Login failed user=<username> auth=<username> host=<host> [<ip>] you read right, both the "user=" and the "auth=" are showing up the same even though i am passing two very different values for the username and password. am i right in assuming that this has something to do with how i compiled ipop3? according to the build README, i was supposed to type: "make lnp" for linux systems running PAM. isn't that how redhat7.3 is default installed? or am i on an entirely wrong track here? thanks for the help people. i'm still a newbie at all this and i feel like i'm up to my neck in error messages. _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer we will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. - martin luther king jr. -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
