Hi,
I hope there is somebody out there so late on Saturday evening. I just want
to warn you that this is my first Qmail installation and I am quite new to
the Linux world. I was able to install checkpassword -0.81 and when I am
testing it, I get these results.
[root@test users]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user test
+OK
pass test
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host.
[root@test users]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.com /bin/checkpassword pwd
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user test
+OK
pass test
-ERR authorization failed
***************************** user test is a pop user in the assign file
and has an encrypted password test in the poppasswd file, has a dir in
popboxes/test-com/test/Maildir/ where he is successfully receiving his mail.
*****************************
[root@test users]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.com /bin/checkpassword pwd
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user x
+OK
pass password
/home/x
***************************** on the other hand user x is a systems account
and also has an entry in the assign file and poppasswd file. user x is also
receiving mail in the popboxes/test-com/x/Maildir, but the pop logon brings
him to home/x directory where I also created (Maildir -just to troubleshoot
- I know it does not suppose to be there) but the pop login gets me there,
while the other users fails to make a pop login due to the password problem.
So both users have a little bit different problems, but the bottom line is
that I can not retrieve the e-mails.
I hope somebody can tell me what variable or ???? I messed up. I believe I
am pretty close.
Thank you for your assistance
Peter
