Thanks for your reply. I am now more confused. So let's have each question
defined clearly:
1. POP3 script
You said to include it with /var/qmail/rc. Then you said that you used the
same switch statement to start ... What is the SWITCH statement. Please show
me what changes you will make to the following script (this is the exact
same script I plan to use):
/var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh
exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start ./Maildir/
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
mail.tibonline.net \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &
2. User Name/Password
In my case I have UserName/Password in the /etc/passwd file. User mail
account (/home/user/Maildir) is setup. It receives mail OK. My problem is
connecting from MS Outlook Express, which gives an error that UserName
and/or Password is not correct.
You said that in your case the problem was resolved by re-starting the qmail
via /var/qmail/bin/qmail-start. Dis you use the following commond:
#/var/qmail/bin/qmail-start ./Maildir/
If not, what did you do exectly.
Thanks for your help.
Does anybody out in the qmail world can shed some light on this problem?

Subject: Yet another weird POP3 problem
Hi,
I got qmail to work (thanks Peter) and installed qmail-pop3d with a single
UID according to Paul Gregg's instructions. However I must have made a dumb
mistake along the way (probably in inetd.conf) :
when trying to retrieve mail I get a
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
On the local machine :
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
telnet 127.0.0.1 110
<...>
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
HOWEVER if I run :
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain /bin/checkpoppasswd
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
and then
telnet 192.168.1.1 110
the user is authorized and everything works fine !!!
Here is my inetd.conf line :
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup host.domain
/bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
The user does have a Maildir :
users/assign:
=domain-user:popuser:511:511:/var/qmail/pop/popboxes/domain/user/:::
.
There is a .qmail file and a Maildir directory both owned by the single UID
popuser
Thanks for your help
