Hi:
I'm trying to get
qpopper running on a SuSE Linux 7.3 box that uses sendmail, configured to dump
mail into the users directory "Mail" ($HOME/Mail). I'm using a
configuration file with the -f parameter in inetd which has the
line:
set home-dir-mail
= Mail
The debug log
shows:
Apr
12 21:58:45
mail popper[5756]: Set debug to true
[pop_config.c:1167]
Apr
12 21:58:45
mail popper[5756]: ...read line 7 (24): set home-dir-mail = Mail
[pop_config.c:1315]
Apr
12 21:58:45
mail popper[5756]: Set home-dir-mail to "Mail"
[pop_config.c:1211]
Apr
12 21:58:45
mail popper[5756]: Finished processing config file '/etc/mail/qpopper.conf';
rslt=1 [pop_config.c:1463]
which looks like proper execution. During a
POP session when trying to access messages with account "lyle", the following
shows up:
Apr
12 21:58:54
mail popper[5756]: Getting mail lock
[pop_dropcopy.c:1625]

Apr
12 21:58:54
mail popper[5756]: ...built: (39) '/var/mail/'
[genpath.c:158]
Is the proper value for "home-dir-mail"
supposed to be the mail directory, or maybe just the path to the inbox (value
should be "Mail/inbox")? Or, is
this a security setting issue?
Any help
appreciated.
