This likely has nothing to do with your use of postfix, it probably just means that your Qpopper is not installed/configured correctly. Most times, this message means that you compiled Qpopper for non-standalone use, that is, to be run out of inetd/xinetd, yet have run it from a command line. To see if this is the case, run Qpopper with the '-v' option and see if it says "standalone" or "non-standalone". > what is the work around ? There isn't a work-around (since that implies a bug), but you need to decide if you want to run Qpopper as a stand-alone daemon or out of inetd/xitnetd, then be sure to compile it and run it for whichever method you choose. By default, Qpopper is set to be run from inetd/xinetd. See the Administrator's Guide for details and instructions.
