Hi there! Well, if I have voice for it, I agree with many of the issues here.=20 First of all, I am the only guilt of the "-ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)" for this case, as I didn't thoroughly read the docs..=20 Anyways, I think as a good benefit for all the logging of "I was not able to find 'the_file.tab', so quitting. RTFM XDDD!!" Personaly, I am not too keen to autocreate missing files. Or if it has to be someday that way, please, make this functionability suitable to be activated through a flag a startup (and not to be the option by default). Kind of 'system tuning up'..
Anyways I have to mention that for me it has been the easiest to setup I ever used. It is just great!!=20 Just the issue about logging, but anyways the code is so clear and clean..=20 Thanks!!! J.

Let me put it to you this way. If the files & folders xmail requires, are not all there at xmail startup time, then xmail should stop, rather than continuing. This has the following benefits: 1. The administrator will *know* that file 'aaaaa' is missing and will go & fix it. 2. The administrator will likely resolve their problem without sending help requests here. Now #2 is a good thing I think. Just look at the subject line on this..... Invalid syntax on PASS command (POP)... How does that assist an administrator to look at the pop3links.tab file and find it is not there. You're not making us self sufficient. Oh, and your last comment... "How about you take care and configure your system software correctly instead?" I agree, but in the real world, stuff happens and some diagnostics would help. I'm not asking for much... "Xmail error: required file pop3links.tab not found."
