Just a follow-up:
Hey guys, Thanks alot for the quick and effective responses!
I changed my user home dir mod to 755, it worked like a charm. Having it
world-writable was some "short-cut" idea I had so I could write/read from my
main user. I must have over looked that condition in the documentation.
I commented out that gnu-pop3d line in my inetd.conf and used qmail-pop3d
and the checkpassword instead.
One thing though, I tried to exec the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pw2u command to
make the file users/assign. But again, it just hung up and I had to hit
Control-C to halt it. I've read the man pages on it and I know that you can
use the -u option if you want to include users with upper cases. Anyways,
it should have worked with the other lower case users. So, thanks to Cyril
Bitterich I was able to manualy edit assign to include my upper case user.
I almost forgot about the last line being a period! But it worked, I was
able to send/receive email with that upper case user.
Yes, I've been telneting into my box, but I've been using MS Outlook for
testing. I was using LWQ as one of my reference documents.
My next step is to install daemontools and ucspi-tcp as you suggested Dave.
Thank you for your help Dave, Wolfgang, and Cyril.
