Greetings,
I'm a new user (at least attempting to be) of Qpopper. I'm trying to get it
to startup as a daemon at runlevel 3 on a SuSE Linux 8.0 (2.4.18 kernel)
machine.
I found the following script in Mickey Hill's MIMEDefang Howto and tried to
use it, but it doesn't work. I'm not sure if that is because SuSE puts
things in different places, or some other reason. If anyone can tell me
what wrong, or give me a different script to try, I'd appreciate it.
I'm assuming (which means I'm probably wrong) that the problem has to do
with the absence of the functions file, but I'm not sure where that is
supposed to come from (i.e. part of qpopper or part of the system or
somewhere else).
Best Regards
Matt Thomas
