I am a user of a Virtual Dedicated Server with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded at
GoDaddy.com. This morning, all pop3 access disappeared for all domains. After
much search, I think this is the cause:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I added the <<<<<<<'s.
When I look at /etc/xinetd.d I see the 3 deactivated services there as zero
length files.
When I telnet localhost 110 - I get permission denied.
When I netstat -al | grep 110 - I get nothing
(same in each case for smtp/port 25 - qmail)
Since Courier-Imap was pre-installed - I don't have a copy of the service
configuration files to restore into /etc/xinetd.d
If it makes sense that the "zeroing" of the files is the deactivation that was
logged and that restoring the files will like restore pop3 services, - can
someone please help me get the three files
/etc/xinetd.d/courier-imap
/etc/xinetd.d/courier-imapds
/etc/xinetd.d/courier-pop3d
OR - if this is likely not the real problem / there is something I should check
also - please let me know.
Thank you folks!
