Hi All, 
I am a newbie to linux and qmail (it couldnt go any worse!), but even after
seeing numerous posts on the topic, I still couldnt configure my qmail.

1. Installed qmail according to instructions by DBJ.
2. I now want support for multiple domains, so I followed the instructions by
PG. Here is what I have now:- 


/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains : 
zoot.com:zoot-com 


/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts : 
proton.com zoot.com 


(/var/qmail/control/locals does not contain zoot.com) 


/var/qmail/users/assign :
=3Dzoot-com-joe:popuser:510:503:/home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe 


where 510 is the UID and 503 is the GID of system user popuser. 


/var/qmail/users/poppasswd :
joe:xxxx:popuser:/home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe 


/home/popuser/popboxes/zoot-com/joe/.qmail : 
./Maildir/ 


/etc/inetd.conf : 
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
qmail-popup zoot.com /bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 


Now the problem is, when i try to POP mails using Microsoft Outlook Express or
even telnet, it gives me "-ERR authentication failure". 

1. I use PG's mkpasswd.pl to generate the password. Once again the question is
what seed do i specify? If i dont specify any, then checkpoppasswd takes the
first two characters as seed, right? But it doesnt work! 

2. Do I need to have a new line for in /etc/inetd.conf for each domain that I
support? 

3. Is there a single document (is that asking too much?) that specifies the
intricacies involved with installing qmail and other patches? 


TIA, 

Manavendra Gupta.
