I've finally got the checkpasswd authorization to work, but not it's not
finding the $Home/Maildir.

I have put a Maildir in all the placing I think it may look, using the
qmail-makedir whatever command, but still no luck.

So, how do I change/find out the value of $HOME, so I can change it, or make
the necessary directories?

Thanks,

Peter Janett





You might need to check the permissions of each Maildir.

If a Maildir is in the UserA's home but is owned by UserB then checkpasswd
can't find the UserA Maildir.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
DAN

Im having problems getting my smtpd to work properly.  Im using qmail and
tcpserver and daemon tools.  i start my server doing 
supervise /var/lock/qmail-smtpd tcpserver -v -x/etc/tcp.smtp/cdb -u71 -g1001
rblsmtpd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 | setuser qmaill accustamp | \
setuser qmaill cyclog -s 5000000 -n5 /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd &

i dont get any errors but when i look into my logs this is what i get

926775865.192345 supervise: fatal: unable to acquire lock: temporary failure

I can send out mail just fine but getting it in is nother story it gets sent
back to me saying the service was unavalible.  can someone help me out some.

I did a little script some time ago to edit the Date: field of incoming
messages so the time of arrival according to the server is displayed
(instead of the client's clock). I put it to work on some mailing lists
I manage, and it works beautifully. The new Date: fiels looks like this:

Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 17:56:31 -0300 (server time)

My question is: does that "(server time)" string I append after the time
zone break some standard? Netscape Messenger, Outlook Express and
Internet Mail don't mind.

Cya,
Juan

Anything in parentheses is considered a comment.  You're in fine shape.  any 
program that has a problem with that is buggy.
