Yes. Instead of running qmail-pop3d like this:
exec tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ns.crynwr.com \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
run it like this:
exec tcpserver 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ns.crynwr.com \
/bin/checkpassword /usr/local/bin/poptest Maildir
where /usr/local/bin/poptest looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
if test -f .popok; then
exec /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d $*;
else
echo -ERR use the web interface at http://example.com/
fi
I haven't tested this to see if it works. That's too much like work,
and I want to be paid if I'm gonna work.
