Hi Trevor, first of all, please read:

It's wrong. 1) "-x" is an argument for tcpserver. You entered it as an argument for qmail-pop3d. Remove it. 2) "-x" expects a cdb file (tcp.smtp.cdb), not a text file (tcp.smtp). 3) qmail-pop3d doesn't need that file at all. 4) "FQDN" should have been replaced with your fully-qualified hostname. > Though in the above scripts i am forcing updation of > /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb.... No, you don't. What makes you think you do? > While compiling i have even specified at the CLI the path to the > tcp.smtp.cdb file....but neither the /etc nor the ~/vpopmail/etc/*.cdb > files are getting created/updated. Again, don't tell us the interpretation of what you did; show us your full ./configure line. And fix your startup scripts. After that, we can go further. > Am in quite a fix......seems to be a very trivial issue but is really > nagging me as i have to push our organisations mail server into > production state. If you're in a hurry, http://qmail.org/top.html#paidsup lists some companies that do commercial support. Jonas
