Re: POP password checking

[Alexander Jernejcic]

Title: Re: POP password checking

that depends on how you start qmail. the parameter after qmail-start
says how to deliver mails.
e.g.:

... qmail-start ./Maildir/ ...

would deliver to Maildir

but

... qmail-start ./Maildir ...

will deliver in "mbox" format to a file called Maildir 

and not to forget the file .qmail in users homedir. just do: %echo
./Maildir/ >.qmail; chmod 644 .qmail
and be sure to create the Maildir /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake. 
and do the above in the homedir f the user, as the user or do a chown
-R user
