I have tried the instructions above and when I restart, sure enough
tcpserver-smtp and tcpserver-popup are running. Tcpserver-smtp as alias and
tcpserver-popup as root; however, something very bizarre has happened. Now
when I attempt to log in with a client, the password for the user is
rejected. I kill the tcpserver-popup process and restart is manually and the
same thing happens.
I have checked the checkpassword file by sending the command with the
instructions found in the INSTALL file in the checkpassword-0.81 directory.
This accepts the user and password with no problems.
The password for the user was appected before adding the commands to the
/var/qmail/rc file.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
