Hi,
I got qmail to work (thanks Peter) and installed qmail-pop3d with a single
UID according to Paul Gregg's instructions. However I must have made a dumb
mistake along the way (probably in inetd.conf) :
when trying to retrieve mail I get a
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
On the local machine :
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
telnet 127.0.0.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
HOWEVER if I run :
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain /bin/checkpoppasswd
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
and then
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
the user is authorized and everything works fine !!!
Here is my inetd.conf line :
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain
/bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
The user does have a Maildir :
users/assign:
=domain-user:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/pop/popboxes/domain/user/:::
.
There is a .qmail file and a Maildir directory both owned by the single UID
popuser
Thanks for your help
