Sorry, let me clarify. What happens when you telnet to the qmail server on port 110 and login using (step-by-step): user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and then pass (your password) Also, try ssh'ing to the box and then try (again, step-by-step): telnet localhost 110 user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) pass (your password)
If you get all OK, try doing: list if this also returns a result, then you can login and check mail with the username/password combo. If you get any kind of error message then that will clarify the problem.
