Don't do that. Read http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html and http://www.palomine.net/qmail/selectiverelay.html instead. Chris
Re: Password problems:
well, what i decided to do was switch to qpopper and use the --enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox and it worked fine. now one thing that i don't understand is the rcpthosts file. it seems like it would be a file that would decide who gets to use qmail as the SMTP server, but when i try to send a message to somewhere like freak.net, it tells me that the address is not in the rcpthosts file. so is this to say where you can send to? do they have something for address that can use the SMTP server? are they one in the same? i put '.net' in the rcpthosts file and it sent fine. thanks, Z On Thu, 15 Jun 2000, Chris Johnson wrote: > On Thu, Jun 15, 2000 at 04:50:37PM -0500, Z wrote: > > From what I've heard many MUA's don't handle the maildir > > very easily. > > MUAs like mutt, and I believe recent versions of Pine (and if not there are > patches to make Pine understand maildirs), handle maildirs just fine.

You'd have to create a maildir called "Mailbox," given the tcpserver invocation from your previous message. > i think i'm going to switch over to qpopper or ipop3d to fix the problem > unless someone has another suggestion. If you don't use maildir delivery, you'll have to use another POP3 server, since qmail-pop3d handles only maildirs. Chris

>From what I've heard many MUA's don't handle the maildir very easily. the exact error message i'm getting is: -ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir and i can't even have the pop server find it even if i create Maildir. i think i'm going to switch over to qpopper or ipop3d to fix the problem unless someone has another suggestion. thanks for the help!

It's certainly possible to have a maildir called "Mailbox," but the name suggests that maybe you're using mailbox delivery instead of maildir. Can you show us the exact error message you receive when you try to pop your mail? Can you run a manual pop session and post the results here? Chris
