What's the rights on the pop3d run file?? The qmail-pop3d directory
under supervise?? In my run file, I end it with splogger pop3d 2>&1...
What happens when you try running the run file from the command line??

> /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 &

>Second Try:

>I added the script to start pop3 into the "run" script which is in

> 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.
