Hello,
I'm trying to set up POP over SSH with qmail on my new server.
Unfortunately, I don't even know if I've got the qmail pop program
working correctly. Here's the line from inetd.conf:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bi
It's really all on one line. I've tried a couple formulas in my
.fetchmailrc file for achieving this. One was straight out of the
POP via SSH HOWTO, but the current version is adapted from Life with
Qmail. The relevant excerpts:
defaults
## interface "sl0/10.0.2.15" # SLIRP standard address
protocol POP3
is benfell here
password NwC1762
fetchall
forcecr
to *
## fetchlimit 10
## batchlimit 10
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f - "
poll area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net port 11110 user benfell
preconnect "ssh -x -C -f -L
11110:area66-1.dsl.speakeasy.net:110
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sleep 2 0 </dev/nul
l >/dev/null";
The last three lines shown here actually share the line which precedes
it, beginning with preconnect.
No matter which flavor of .fetchmailrc adaption I use, the result is
the same:
> ssh-agent getmail
Need passphrase for /home/benfell/.ssh/identity (benfell@area66-1).
Enter passphrase:

On the server, I see in /var/log/messages:

These messages reflect a cron job I have running every 20 minutes that
generates e-mail. (I know this is bad form, but the idea is to have
some test mail to retrieve...)
I've been trying to chase down some information on the "Bind: Address
already in use" messages and could find nothing relevant in a google
search.
In the mean time, I'm not succeeding in downloading the e-mail. So
far as I can see, it's all failing pretty quietly.
So, where do I begin?

There are no physicists in the hottest parts of hell, because the
existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference, and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably cool.
This is obviously impossible.
