Maildir problem
Hi, I installed qmail version 1.03 on my Red Hat 6.0 machine, and it is working fine. I selected Maildir as the default delivery method. The manual told me to addthe directoy Maildir/ in to /etc/skel and to all other users, and so I did. but when I telnet my port 110, the following error will appear: Trying 216.237.57.142... Connected to 216.237.57.142. escape character is '^]'. +OK 3094.995952119@mail.astroburst.com user helena pass 123* -ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir Connection closed by foreign host. * not the real password but the$HOME/Maildir/ directory is there. After that I removed the user and create it again, which worked. Now I want to do it to the user root, but I can't remove root and created one again. Can anyone help me with that? Regards, Helena Zhang

Re: Maildir problem
Adding Maildir to /etc/skel is only good for users you'll be creating in the future. For all existing users, you need to run /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake in each of the $HOME directory.

See: http://ftp.univ-aix.fr/ls-lR Personally, I found similiar things going on for SuSE Linux. qpopper coupled with qmail to allow POP3 delivery/fetching on VSM Mailboxes. The desaster was: - qmail-smtpd (and qpopper) was invoked by INETD with root permissions. - qmail's home dir was /usr/local/qmail. qpopper did not work either. If i am doing telnet on localhost at port 110 , then it showing that pop daemon is running, And if i am providing username and password over there just to check the mail, but its saying 0 message , while i am having mails in my Maildir/new folders. How can i fetch mails now using Maildir format ? How about setting up qmail-pop3d (comes with qmail). My advice: Install qmail from the sources. Gerrit. My question: Has anybody on that list similiar experiences with these kind of packages?

If you want to do POP3 with Maildirs in user home directories, switch to qmail-pop3d, included in the qmail source. That's what it's designed for.

What MUA (mail reader) are you using? Most likely it doesn't understand the Maildir method for storing emails. Please provide more details. Andy
Maildir problem
Hi, I decided to use Maildir instead of Mailbox on one user account ... I did maildirmake $HOME/Maildir and echo ./Maildir ~.qmail Then I export MAIL=/home/vmail/Maildir When testing sending mail to this account qmail procuded the below log:- Jun 29 20:20:16 morgoth qmail: 962281216.236186 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Jun 29 20:20:16 morgoth qmail: 962281216.247970 delivery 180: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ How do I go about it ??/ Thanks erekose
Re: Maildir problem
I did maildirmake $HOME/Maildir and echo ./Maildir ~.qmail Your mistake is right here... "./Maildir", as far as qmail is concerned, is a _file_ named "Maildir". You need to add a slash to the end... like: echo ./Maildir/ ~.qmail RC When testing sending mail to this account qmail procuded the below log:- Jun 29 20:20:16 morgoth qmail: 962281216.236186 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Jun 29 20:20:16 morgoth qmail: 962281216.247970 delivery 180: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ How do I go about it ??/ Thanks erekose -- +--- | Ricardo Cerqueira | PGP Key fingerprint - B7 05 13 CE 48 0A BF 1E 87 21 83 DB 28 DE 03 42 | Novis - Engenharia ISP / Rede Técnica | Pç.
