Re: Getting pop3d to work

Chris,

Thanks. You are right. I missed out an additional qmail-popup argument. Putting
it into the inetd.conf entry
makes pop3 works.

I don't use inetd for this kind of thing, but I think it wants the first
argument of the program it runs to be the program name itself, i.e.:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup fqdn etc.

You might consider using tcpserver instead of inetd for your qmail stuff.
You'll find much better support on this list for it.
