Hi everybody
My MUA (Microsoft Outlook Express) connect
successfully to the Qpopper, pass the authentication
and come out without reading mail. It further displays
�No new messages�!
Could somebody kindly explain to me how to organize
directories beyond the spool directory and any
permissions, etc. required for the Qpopper to
successfully read messages for MUAs?
I use Qpopper 4.0.5 on Intel Pentium III based server
running Red Hat Linux 8.0 and MySQL 3.23.52 and have
applied qpopper-mysql-0.12.patch to authenticate POP3
users via MySQL.
(1) My ./configure line is:
./configure --enable-servermode --enable-shy
--enable-specialauth \
--enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/mail/.pop
--disable-check-pw-max \
--enable-fast-update --prefix=/usr
--disable-hash-dir-check \
--enable-standalone --enable-mysql \
--with-mysqlconfig=/etc/mysql-popper.conf \
--enable-debugging
(2) The email table entry:
mysql> select * from email where username='sagara';
| username | domain | uid | gid | status |
shell | password | spool
| loginhosts |
+---------------+--------+------+------+--------+-------+----------+------------
-------------------+------------+
| sagara | mydomain.com | NULL | NULL | 1 | NULL
| test123 | /var/sites/mydomain.com/mbox/sagara
(3) mysql-popper.conf
MysqlAuthHost localhost
MysqlAuthPort 3306
MysqlAuthDb pop3authdb
MysqlUsername root
MysqlPassword root password
MysqlAuthTable email
MysqlAuthPasswordMethod cleartext
MysqlAuthUsernameField username
MysqlAuthDomainField domain
MysqlAuthDefaultDomain mydomain.com
MysqlAuthPasswordField password
MysqlAuthUidName mail
MysqlAuthGidName mail
MysqlAuthAcctStatusField status
MysqlSpoolField spool
(4) Permissions for /var/spool/mail/.pop
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Aug 14
14:53 .pop
(5) Permission for my spool directory: /var/sites/
mydomain.com/mbox/sagara
drwxrwxr-x 5 root mail 4096 Aug 14
14:18 sagara
Thank you
Sagara
