Still trying with this one - but maybe it's obvious to someone .....
When our SUN box reboots pop3d does not start.
The when you check mail you get
"An error occurred while sending your username to the mail server
......."
All other qmail services appear to start - and when you re-run
/etc/init.d/qmaild stop/start
qmail-popup starts OK.
I think that this is an environment/path problem ........
In /nohup.out is the line
'env: No such file or directory'
caused by the 'nohup /var/qmail/start-pop3d' command.
Any pointers as to the possible cause of this problem would be
appreciated.
Many thanks
