Hello. I just setup a server for my father and I installed qmail because
I use it here and it works great. His situation is a little different
from my own, however. POP3 works great starting from inetd, but qmail
gives errors. The error I get is:
tcpserver: fatal: unable to figure out port nu
In my experience, that error is caused when the value you enter for the port
isn't listed in /etc/services

It's necessary to save one process. Otherwise, the script itself
continues running, doing nothing except waiting for the tcpserver
process to exit.
