David, you probably meant Washington, not Wisconsin University :-) .
If so, just don't answer this message, my comment lowered the SNR

Yeah, you are right. Someone else told me that right after the announce went
out, and I've updated the web page.

I have deleted the qmail-pop3d.init file from /etc/rc.d/init.d and instead
have added the pop-3 stream to inetd.conf
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmai/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com /bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
all as one line.
I have created a test user account guest with the password guest (I will be
deleting it after I get pop working please don't hack my system) The maildir
works fine, I can send mail to and from it using pine.
Now, if I attempt to collect my guest mail with a pop client (MS Outlook) I
set it as follows:
Incoming mail (Pop3): r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com
Account name: guest
Password: guest
The failure is that my account and password is not accepted, it keeps asking
for the account and password again and again. When I finally cancel I get
the error message:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name or
Password was rejected. Server Response: '-ERR' authorization failed".
(Account: 'TestLinuxBox', POP3 Server:
'r84aap011904.sbo-nwt.ma.cable.rcn.com', Error Number: 0x00cc92).
So, it seems that pop-3 is a running service, but that checkpassword is not
reading my /etc/passwd file correctly (I guess).
I looked in /etc/services and there were 2 services on 110, pop and pop-3,
so I've deleted pop (now there is only pop-3 listed) and still the same
problem. (I rebooted too, so it's definitely configured that way)
Can anyone help?

if there's no *qmail-pop3d.init in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d
then do the following:
in /etc/rc.d/rc0.d and /etc/rc.d/rc1.d and /etc/rc.d/rc2.d and
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d
# ln -s ../init.d/qmail-pop3d.init K48qmail-pop3d.init
in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/rc4.d and /etc/rc.d/rc5.d
# ln -s ../init.d/qmail-pop3d.init S82qmail-pop3d.init
this would start/stop the pop3d daemon automatically upon system
start/stop/restart
hope this helps

hey all, does anyone know if it is possible to get qmail to allow '.' in
aliases? ie: i created a .qmail-cow.cow-moo in my home dir with all the
right permissions but i can't send to it. and if qmail doesn't allow this
does anyone know of a patch that will?
thanks,

Some people seem to have had problems getting the qmail-pop3d daemon to
work using the qmail-pop3d.init script which the qmail srpm on
www.qmail.org installs. I have successfully got this to work as follows
First off you must install the checkpassword rpm
Now you have to make qmail-pop3d run at boot
Go to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ (or whatever runlevel you normally boot into)
You should find that in this directory there is a link called
K<n>qmail-pop3d.init , where <n> is a two digit number
Now look for the link S<N>qmail.init, where <N> is another two digit
number
Rename K<n>qmail-pop3d.init to S<a>qmail-pop3d.init , where <a> is any
two digit number you like as long as it is larger than <N>
Restart or equivalent
To summarize the rpm installs symbolic links to the qmail-pop3d.init
script in the rc.d subdirectories. However it gives them numbers lower
than the qmail.init script. This means that the pop3d script executes
before the rest of qmail. Since it depends on other parts of the qmail
system it fails.
I am relatively new to Linux so any comments are welcome

I've got at problem with my mailserver.
It take about 30 mins for it to send an e-mail. It only sends and recives
email for about 25 persons.
Anyone got a clue what could be wrong?

I want messages sent to user@domain1 to be forwarded to user@domain2.
How can I do this?
I tried setting up a virtual domain
domain1:alias-1
and putting
| forward "$LOCAL"@domain2
in ~alias/.qmail-1-default
but this causes the message to loop
any help appreciated

I'm running RedHat-5.0 on a Pentium-Pro, and the only problem I had
with compiling qmail from sources is creating a fake DNS setup. I don't
have a modem hooked up at home. *sob*

Which user names should be reserved in a mail system not to allow users
to get mail accounts that might imply that their posess powers that they
don't have?
RFC2142 suggests some; but I would like to get pointers to some security
documents.
Thanks in advance.

ok. I was a bit unclear.
If I set up a mail system that provides users virtual mail accounts for
a given domain "example.com", then what "user names" should be reserved
to be fairly assured that they don't easily can pretend that they are
part of the administrative force? So that they don't get emailadresses
like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which wouldn't be that wise....
abuse, postmaster, admin, root, mailer-daemon, administrator, info,
sales, support, helpdesk, majordomo, manager, ceo, chief,
..
and the list goes on. RFC 2142 (http://rfc2142.x42.com) suggest some;
but as I said, if somebody has set up a larger list in a security doc --
then that's what I want.
Any luck in the wordlists that comes with cracking software?
