ERR User has no $HOME/maildir (STILL GETTING ERROR)

1999-04-19 Thread Jay 



OK, thanks for your help so far, but I am still getting the 
error
 
/home/whoever/Maildir
exists now, and it has mail in it but outlook express responds 
first with  rejecting the password, but gives me that same error again. 

ERR User has no $HOME/maildir 
any other ideas?

Did you check the /etc/passwd file to make sure 
it's pointing to the right dir? Such as /home/whoever.
 
Also, chown the home to that person, chown -R whoever 
/home/whoever
 
Try those.

That's a little incorrect, if checkpassword wasn't working it would give
'-ERR authentication failed' when connecting to the POP3 service.

This has to do with qmail-local.

Perhaps your checkpassword is not working properly. Have a look on
www.qmail.org under the "Alternative Checkpassword Implementations" section
for Mark Delany's tip on how to check if your checkpassword is working
correctly.
