Replace 'tcpserver' with the the complete path-call to tcpserver (maybe '/usr/local/bin/tcpserver'?) Counting the number problems you have with setting up a simple mail server and the simpleness of a lot of your problems (second time a path problem, IIRC) you should consider to engage somebody that is used to Linux and qmail stuff. Could be safer for your server if it is intended to run 24/7 in public access at a later time. -- Pit

But 'til I managed this stuff safely I did not intend to install a server that's accessible from outside my LAN for obvious reasons: If I had overlooked only a small detail I could have been in big trouble. And a vpopmail installation is not the 'usual stuff' for a small LAN server not accessible from public; simply because _somewhere_ the mails have to come from. -- Pit

That is why I am still testing on my LAN environment. I also would never only test vpopmail online. I also want to test that first locally. And till then I will still have _a_lot_of beginner questions - I guess. Thanks for helping in the meantime. Zeno
