I just started learning Linux last week and am installing a few internet

services to include qmail.
When I send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] my /etc/maillog reports that
everything went fine, however when I try to retrieve the email using
POP3 I have no messages.  And when I look in /home/bob/Maildir there is
nothing in cur,new, or tmp.  So it appears that the mail is goinng
somewhere else, I just can't figure out where.  (bob is just the example

I am using I haven't created any other functional mail accounts yet)

My /var/qmail/rc file looks like this;
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/ splogger qmail

And my /etc/inetd.conf looks like this;
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
qmail-popup mydomain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir
(all on one line of course)

The MAIL=$HOME/Maildir environment variable in my /etc/profile is set
and verified.

I used maildirmake on bob's home directory and chowned it for him.
I am running Redhat Linux
What am I missing?
