I believe that, at startup, if xmail does not find ALL the folders it requires, then it should do one of two things.
1. create the missing folders Or 2. terminate after logging to the log_files/ screen/ event_log, depending on platform and or debug mode. Currently it. 3. continues without error and throws up seemingly un related errors that cause you to look elsewhere for the fault. *** I'm sending this as a feature request. *** Thank you Davide, Thanks, Rob :-) _________________________________________________ It might look like I'm doing nothing, but on a cellular level, I'm quite busy. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Juan Carlos Muro Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 11:15 PM To: xmail@xmailserver.org Subject: [xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP) Thanks for the advice Davide!=20 So I inquired the next issue with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied' error. I have inserted/edit many debug points in the source code. I found where the problem was: * In POP3Utils.cpp: POP3_HANDLE UPopBuildSession(const char *pszDomain, const char *pszUsrName, const char *pszUsrPass, SYS_INET_ADDR const *pPeerInfo) { [...] if (pszUsrPass !=3D NULL && strcmp(pszUsrPass, pUI->pszPassword) !=3D 0) { ErrSetErrorCode(ERR_INVALID_PASSWORD); UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI); return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE; } printf("[POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[1]:\n"); // I reach this checkpoint if (UsrPOP3Lock(pUI) < 0) { UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI); return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE; } printf("[POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[2]:\n"); // Checkpoint not reached [!] [...] } Here clearly saw that the password validation was ok after issuing 'PASS the_passwd' to the server. After it, was necessary to add the next checkpoint: * In UsrUtils.cpp: int UsrPOP3Lock(UserInfo *pUI) { char szLockPath[SYS_MAX_PATH] =3D ""; UsrGetPop3LocksPath(pUI, szLockPath, sizeof(szLockPath)); =09 printf("[UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D %s\n", szLockPath); if (SysLockFile(szLockPath) < 0) return ErrGetErrorCode(); return 0; } That threw straight to my eyes: [UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D /var/lib/xmail/pop3locks/[EMAIL PROTECTED] And not, the directory 'pop3locks' didn't exist! After reviewing the documentation, paying special attention to the "MailRoot structure" section, I realized that still many directories were not yet created... So, I crated the as appointed by the doc, and problem fixed! xDD So, again, the most valuable advice once again was: read the docs carefully! xDDDD Only one proposal for the xmail developers: maybe to be more specific with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied' message, to differentiate whether the fail is owed to authentication or to file creation/manipulation... ;) Thanks!
