What can I do to make this right? As another poster mentioned, try increasing the memory softlimit set on qmail-pop3d. It's probably just running out of memory trying to scan that directory. It isn't a vpopmail problem, unless you can't do SMTP AUTH for the user or qmailadmin fails. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

Not vpopmail. vchkpw hands it off to qmail-pop3d, and it can not secure enough memory to process the Maildir. Ive put mine up higher, and it works perfectly again. J-W

[vchkpw] multiple issues.....cannot get in!!
I am running vpopmail with vchkpw and I am having an few isssues that I believe are connected. I have many virtual domains, but on at lease one account in one domain, I cannot log into my mail and see the error, Sending of the password did not succeed. unable to scan $HOME/Maildir. (using mozilla thunderbird) OR -ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir, telneting to box The weird thing is that other account on the same domain do not have this problem. As I said, another thing is going on that I believe to be connectedI cannot log into my qmailadmin. Qmail admin gives me a Internal server error on the web page and: Premature end of script headers: /cgi-bin/qmailadmin in the error log. I do believe that I may have contributed to the by changing the shell for the vpopmail account to /nologin as I was in paranoid mode after one of my other boxes got hacked. I cannopt tell if this was the cause, but as soon as I made the correlation, I changed the shell back to the one that I believe that was originally there(/bin/csh) and still the same. So, i belive it could possibly a vpopmail ownership thing but everything looks rightAs far as I believe things should be looking, that is. If anyone can point some light in my direction, that would be very appreciated. thanks, Bob
