For the last two days I have done nothing else but to setup "pop3" to run
under qmail. I installed qmail by following "qmail-HOWTO"
(http://www.flunder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html) procedure. "svscan" is
starting qmail from "/service" directory. I have two directories
"/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send" & "/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd" which
has "run" scripts to start each of these service (as outlined in
"qmail-HOWTO").
My question is "where" to add the script to start pop3. For the last two
days I have tried everything under the sun and nothing seems to work. Two of
the following procedures I tried to adopt, should have worked but they did
not. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY NEITHER OF THEM IS WORKING????
First Try:
=======
I added a new directory as follows:
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send (existing directory)
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd (existing
directory)
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3 (new directory)
In the new directory I added a "run" script with the following to start
pop3:
#!/bin/sh
exec /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 &
RESULT:
pop3 does not start ( I use "ps auwx | grep qmail" to check whether it
started or not). All other scripts which are in directories qmail-send &
qmail-smtpd are starting!!!
Second Try:
=========
I added the script to start pop3 into the "run" script which is in
"/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd". This "run" script looks like the
following:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
exec /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 &
RESULT:
pop3 does not start.
What am I doing wrong? What can I do to remedy this problem?
