Hi,
I've just restarted my mail server, (having not got the origional pop3d boot up script)
using this line in /etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ice.gradwell.com
/bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
(all one line)
and when I try a pop3 session, I get an
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
error:
[peter@tea peter]$ telnet ice.gradwell.com 110
Trying 194.205.225.96...
Connected to ice.gradwell.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <830.927664332@/bin/checkpassword>
USER peter
+OK
PASS pass
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.
however, it does exist:
drwxr-xr-x 5 peter users 1024 Mar 28 19:51 Maildir/
peter@ice:~$ ls -al Maildir
total 14
drwxr-xr-x 5 peter users 1024 Mar 28 19:51 ./
drwxr-xr-x 45 peter users 4096 May 25 21:03 ../

drwx------ 2 peter users 2048 May 25 21:09 new/
drwx------ 2 peter users 1024 May 25 21:09 tmp/
can some one pass me a clue please?
thanks
peter.
