Oh,
this does make sense. That was my fear from the beginning. The only
question is the order of installation. Does it matter that I already have
the checkpassword-0.81 installed??
I downloaded also cdb-5.5 since the checkcdb README was refering to it or
should I use version cdb-7.5.???
I am adding also the line from inetd.conf file for verification.
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup
test.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
Thanks Peter
