re SMTP, this happens even if I am telneting from the linux box's loopback
address (127.0.0.1)
re pop my problem is not the aliasing. my problem is that all the other
users can't access their mail. i think qmail divided my users 3 different
groups:
1. all users created when sendmail is still installed are able to retrieve
their mails using qmail
2. users created after sendmail was removed can logon but can't see their
messages (i.e. i sent them a test message but nothing is reflected in their
Maildir)
3. users created after i put Maildir under /etc/skel gets an authorization
failure error message when they log on to the pop server

There can be several Reasons.
1) check /etc/hosts.deny
2) check /etc/inetd.conf
3) there is something going wrong with your smtp daemon and it died
It could be no Firewall Problem because that would block completely...

in qmail root is not able to check mail for security reasons!
solve:
# echo youraccountname > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
there is the same with .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon
for me eg. works:
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
# ln -s .qmail-postmaster /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon

Good! =)
