Do I understand correctly that you _successfully_ send mail to this box,
and you know that because that same message shows up in
/home/lrpqmail/Maildir/new?
So, your only problem is retrieving that message to a windows machine?
If so, what username and password are you using for this retrieval?
I am running Dachstein and, of course, 110/tcp is open to my retrieving
systems, both on same LAN and across the Internet.
What is in these files:
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain
/var/qmail/control/locals
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
Try watching output from the following while you attempt to retrieve
mail to the windows box:
tail -f /var/log/qmail/{pop3d,qmail,smtpd}/current | tai64nlocal
Without any special configuration to my qmail, here is a fetchmail
recipe I use every 131 seconds:
poll mail.private.network with proto POP3
user 'lrpqmail' there with password '_secret_password_' is 'mds' here
It should `just work' -- even from a windows box -- if that port is
open, qmail is properly configured, and you are using lrpqmail user and
its correct password.
