Then send yourself some test mail, and manually check your Mailbox file. If it's in there, then your POP daemon config is broken, as Tim Hunter suggested. If not, then something's probably changed with your qmail setup, in which case the output of qmail-showctl is a first step towards solving your problem. -- Adrian Ho [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MailDir stopped working
Yes, mail is still being delivered properly, to the ~user/Mailbox. However, I had to add symlinks to get it recognized. The rc script I use is the default --> from /usr/local/qmail/rc: #!/bin/sh # Using splogger to send the log through syslog. # Using qmail-local to deliver messages to ~/Mailbox by default. exec env - PATH="/usr/local/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail So, why am I no longer able to access Mailboxes without symlinks?

RE: MailDir stopped working
Actually my guess is that mail is still being delivered properly, but the popper configuration has changed. -Original Message- From: Charles Cazabon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 5:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MailDir stopped working Robert Schmid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > For some reason I can no longer get my mail (pop or IMAP) using > > > ~user/Mailbox.

I'm assuming you want to know why you need symlinks from /var/spool/$USER to $USER/Mailbox. This is controlled by the script you use to start qmail-smtpd, not qmail proper.

Re: MailDir stopped working
This is what I'm using to start qmail - exec env - PATH="/usr/local/qmail/bin:$PATH" \ qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail This has not changed since it was installed and the MailDir worked until recently.

Yes, you have to look at the server. Did you have an actual question to ask the list?
