Hi all.
I should start this (my first post) with a big howdy doo dee to everyone.
I have just installed a new machine to act a as mailsever, replacing one
that continually tripped itself over. I had qpopper 3.0.2 running on that
one fine. On the new box, I can't get qpopper to create the .pop file
correctly. The exact error is:
There has been an error transferring your mail. I said: PASS <shhhh!
Don't tell anyone> and then the POP server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said: ERR
[SYS/TEMP] Failed to create /var/spool/mail/.user.pop with uid 3965, gid
12. Change permissions.
Now the weird part is that on the old server some of the e-mail account had
a group id of '2000' and some were group 'root' both of them worked
regardless. This time instead of having group of '2000' they have got
'unknown_' instead. The stranger part is that half of the e-mail accounts
work and half of them don't. For example user1 and user2 both have a group
id of 'unknown_' and user1 can check his mail successfully but user2 gets
the error message generated above.
I am completely stumped here.....has anyone seen anything like this before?
Any help is greatly appreciated....
James.
