I'm sorry if I gave incomplete details.
I have executed maildirmake /var/spool/mail/doods and then linked this one to ~doods.
So now, ~doods contains Maildir -> /var/spool/mail/doods. I have also set 700
permissions to this directory and made its owner doods. I have another machine and
made similar setup that works fine. The only difference of these other machine is
that it is running qmail-popup with qmail-pop3d. The machine that I am having problem
is running the usual qpopper.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!!!
