I have a qmail server which is also running qmail-pop3d. We recently registered a
second domain name, and I would like the existing server to handle both the old and
new names (the new one is significantly shorter - which makes it easier for our
users!). This is not a virtual hosting situation - simply 2 names for the same box.
Configuring SMTP (control/rcpthosts and control/locals) was not a problem. The server
will now accept and correctly deliver messages addressed to the new domain.
POP is a problem. When I try to telnet on port 110 to the new name, I get a "could
not open connection message" (DNS is OK). I'm guessing that the solution is to change
my startup script from this:
tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/usr/local/bin/multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/pop3
to this:
tcpserver -v -R -H -c75 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ORIGINAL.NAME NEW.NAME \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/usr/local/bin/multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/pop3
Could anyone confirm that or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Mike
