in qmail-pop3d you have to change two lines, in saferead() and 
safewrite().
Other than that, yes.

that means it works in qmail-popup.

have you actually installed the new qmail-pop3d into the right
place?
Note that Daniels "install" programs tends to fail (under linux at
least) if a process is actually running.

[re-post] qmail-pop3d not timing out?

[Fred Backman]

FYI - I posted this last week but with no replies. It is really important so
please if you can help, help. Otherwise, sorry for the double post.


(1) If I want to change the qmail-pop3d timeout, is it correct to modify
the line

int timeout = 1200;

in qmail-popup.c and qmail-pop3d.c? If not, how do I go about?

(2) I did just that, changing it from 1200 to 30, but the timeout only
seems to work in the authentication stage, ie. before i'm actually
logged in. Once i'm logged in, i can still be idle for more than 30
secs.

Any idea what's going on? Please help.
