RE: POP Authentication Not Working
Try copying /var/qmail/control/me to /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain but I don't think that will fix it... is myhost.mydom.or.jp supposed to be valid? Also, have you tried turning on all vpopmail logging options? Please post the output of /var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl, that'll help me find your problem. Thanks. I didn't know about that command. Its a little long, but here it is: (clipped)

Your defaultdelivery file must end in a slash for qmail to know that it is a Maildir.

You are using vconvert incorrectly. The first parameter is what to convert from, and the second is what to convert to. You are trying to convert from cdb to etc format, when you want to do the opposite. You should also try adding the -d parameter for some extra info. Have you tried using qmail-pw2u (http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-pw2u.html)? Thanks for all of the help so far. Shawn

Both; the format that the location is in specifies the type. See http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/dot-qmail.html points 4 and 5.

Forgive me, you were right. vconvert is what you want to use.

Anyway, I searched and poked and grepped and looked through Running Qmail, but I could not find a startup script anywhere that starts the tcpserver line above. I don't know where it is coming from.

Just replace the line in your init scripts that launches pop5smtp with the line that I gave you. Then either reboot or kill process 203 then run the line with qmail-pop3d.
Re: POP Authentication Not Working
Thanks for the help so far. I am still struggling to get this. Original tcpserver pop3d line: # ps x | grep qmail root /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /usr/local/qmail/bin/pop5smtp /usr/local/libexec/popper I've never heard of pop5smtp before. You should be using qmail-pop3d instead. Just replace the line in your init scripts that launches pop5smtp with the line that I gave you. Then either reboot or kill process 203 then run the line with qmail-pop3d. I looked up pop5smtp and discovered that it is a Japanese pop-before-smtp program. (Homepage at: http://www.mimori.org/~h/pop5smtp/ for the curious) This is not surprising since the former admin here was Japanese. Anyway, I searched and poked and grepped and looked through Running Qmail, but I could not find a startup script anywhere that starts the tcpserver line above. I don't know where it is coming from. I went ahead and made a note of the command, then created a new script: # ls -l /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 174 May 10 14:12 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new* with contents: env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mydom.co.jp \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new Maildir I then killed the original tcpserver process and executed this instead: # /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v 0 pop3 /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d-new After that, I tried: telnet localhost 110, but got a Connection closed by foreign host. At this point, I also started getting tcpserver output on the console: tcpserver: status: 1/40 tcpserver: pid 68810 from 127.0.0.1 tcpserver: ok 68810 localhost.mydom.co.jp:127.0.0.1:110 localhost.mydom.co.jp:127.0.0.1::2919 tcpserver: status: 2/40 tcpserver: pid 68811 from 210.175.32.120 tcpserver: ok 68811 warabi.mydom.co.jp:210.172.82.227:110 :210.175.32.120::63876 tcpserver: end 68811 status 0 tcpserver: status: 1/40 tcpserver: end 68810 status 0 tcpserver: status: 0/40 It obviously wasn't working the way I wanted, so I killed the new tcpserver process and executed the old one to restore things.
