Hi everybody,
Thank you for advising me to use the Life With Qmail Manual. Big time !
Ok, so now I have Qmail set up on my RedHAt 7.1 server fine.
I manage to send mail (SMTP) with an Outlook client from an allowed computer.
I have sent myself a mail to check if SMTP and POP work.
I send okay (the log acknowledge that) but I cannot receive (POP) the mail
I sent myself.
I had a deep look through the archives of this mailing list and I have
changed pop3 to pop-3 on both tcp and udp protocols.
With "netstat -l" only smtp is listening but not pop-3.
So I have decided to run : /service/qmail-pop3d/run (by hand)
and I get the following message : "tcpserver: status: 0/40"
So the pop server starts all right.
"netstat -l" shows me that pop-3 is listening now too.
I check with my Outlook client, it works
(except that I have no idea how to manage my username and password, I get
authentication errors, has anyone an idea about what the ID should be ?)
So here is my problem :
- why doesn't the pop deamon start when I run qmailctl start ?
(I followed and double-checked all the steps in the manual)
- what is the ID and Paswword to get POP mail ? is it the Linux Username
and Password or is there another one ?
Please let me know.
Regards,
S. Lagrange.
