Which is another issue :) Mail delivery from the outside world is also working, as the mail sent is arriving in the users Maildir directory So now I am really stuck, Qmailadmin still will not let anyone in, and basically says that username/password is wrong, even though I have just confirmed it works. Should I try reinstalling Qmailadmin and see if that works? As far as httpd.conf is concerned what configuration for qmailadmin would be in there? Also what permissions would stop qmailadmin authenticating a user? I have just done a straight install, however does it make any difference if the install is performed by an ordinary user or by root, because thats the only thing I can think of that would alter permissions?
