Hi,
In my qmail startup script I use the following to start the qmail pop server:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -RHO -v 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
MY_FQDN /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /batches/poplog \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger \
pop3d 2 &
If you put it on one line, remove the \ at the line ends.
Replace MY_FQDN with your serve's fully qualified domain name.
"poplog" is the following (executable!) batch file, which logs your
pop retrievals. Not necessary but nice:
#!/bin/sh
newmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/new/ | wc -l`
newmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1`
oldmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | wc -l`
oldmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | cut -f 1`
USER="Username: `basename $PWD`"
pushd .. 1>/dev/null
DIR="`basename $PWD`"
popd 1>/dev/null
echo "$USER@$DIR" "New mails: " "$newmail" "(" "$newmailbytes" \
" Bytes); Old mails: " "$oldmail" " (" "$oldmailbytes" " Bytes)" | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 2
pop="$1"; shift; exec "$pop" "$@"
Hope this helped.
Best regards,
Barry
