Thanks Kenneth and Sebastien, that's what it was.
I was using xinetd and to change it for qpopper the file looks like:
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/popper
server_args = qpopper -s -R
# log_on_success += USERID DURATION
log_on_success = DURATION HOST PID
# log_on_failure += USERID
log_on_failure = HOST
nice = 10
}
the commented out lines are the originals, below them are what
I changed it to.
Thanks everyone, I was at wit's end. :)
