After Jeff's presentation on Qmail at the last meeting, I decided to try Qmail on my new server installation. It's been "fun" - trying to use the Life With Qmail guide on a Gentoo server that does the compilation part of the install for you. Then, having to try and find what parts of the procedure the compilation process (via the "emerge" command) has missed. But, I think I got it. I'm able to send mail out from my console and receive mail in (using mutt to test outgoing/incoming mail to my user account).
Pop3 is giving me problems though. My user account is configured the exact same way it was on my previous server (same username/password). I've started the POP3 processes, and a "nmap localhost" reveals that port 110 is open. (just occured to me that I didn't verify it was Qmail opening the port though - I'll check this in a bit). I'm trying to connect to the pop3 server via MS Outlook on my Win2K box - but I'm getting a consistent authentication failure. Not knowing enough about Qmail (yet), I'm hoping someone on the list can point me in the right direction here. Which files should I be checking? When I run qmailctl start/stop, I don't see any errors reported (the script has been modifed as per the LWQ guide to include the required pop3 commands). Getting email running on my new server is the only thing that's holding me back from doing a wholesale migration to it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
