Hi All, I am a newbie to linux and qmail (it couldnt go any worse!), but even after seeing numerous posts on the topic, I still couldnt configure my qmail. 1. Installed qmail according to instructions by DBJ. 2. I now want support for multiple domains, so I followed the instructions by PG. Here is what I have now:- /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains : zoot.com:zoot-com /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts : proton.com zoot.com (/var/qmail/control/locals does not contain zoot.com ) /var/qmail/users/assign : =zoot-com-joe:popuser:510:503:/home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe where 510 is the UID and 503 is the GID of system user popuser. /var/qmail/users/poppasswd : joe:xxxx:popuser:/home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe /home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe/.qmail : ./Maildir/ /etc/inetd.conf : pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup zoot.com /bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir Now the problem is, when i try to POP mails using Microsoft Outlook Express or even telnet, it gives me "-ERR authentication failure". 1. I use PG's mkpasswd.pl to generate the password. Once again the question is what seed do i specify? If i dont specify any, then checkpoppasswd takes the first two characters as seed, right? But it doesnt work! 2. Do I need to have a new line for in /etc/inetd.conf for each domain that I support? 3. Is there a single document (is that asking too much?) that specifies the intricacies involved with installing qmail and other patches? TIA, Manavendra Gupta. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
