hello friends i have installed qmail along with qmail-ldap-latest-patch on Redhat Linux 6.1 , its working fine as far as delivery to /Home/Maildir is concern but other things like qmail-pop3d is not working atall , i think the problem is with default file permissions for /Home/Maildir/new/mail file which is 644 in my case , so with 644 on /Home/Maildir/new/mail file qmail-pop3d is not able to download mails from users mailbox , then i tried changing it to 755 , then qmail-pop3d is able to download mails from users mail box but unable to delete those mail files from maildir once they gets downloaded . then i made it 777 , now qmail-pop3d works perfectly so i think its just this file permissions part which is creating these problems desperately waiting for reply Prashant Desai
