Hello! I have been struggling with this all day, and I suppose that you will show me just how simple the solution is ;>
Before today, this Debian system was not a mail server, and ran popa3d,
from which I was able to remotely retrieve local user's email. For
example, when some error message is mailed to root, aliases sent it to
my user (mds), and I pick it up every ten minutes from my workstation
thirty miles away. That worked well.
Now, this is to become a mail server: netqmail + vpopmail.
If I create a virtual domain for this actual server
(don.platinumaire.net), then root's mail bounces. When I created a
virtual user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), then root's mail ends up in
root's virtual maildir. That is bad, because
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root says my user (mds) should get root's mail.
At first, I did not know about --enable-passwd=y -- now, that is
compiled in. Now that --enable-passwd=y , I have a different problem:
vchkpw-pop3: system user shadow entry not found mds:24.15.228.181
Apparently, my remote IP is appended to my system user name, and -- of
course -- that does not coincide with my /etc/passwd entry ;<
I am confused, and I appeal to your mercy!
How is it intended to remotely retrieve local user's mail under
vpopmail?
What do you think?

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much
