RE: [vchkpw] qmail/vpopmail cannot auth pop3 clients. No logging.
Still having the problem - any other suggestions of debug advice. I am curious as to why there is no logging to better diagnose this problem.

Also, a few times I've had problems with different text editors leaving some trash characters in the script when I'v entered tabs of spaces.

My text editor should be fine as it was vi, and I have checked it and it looks ok. Good advice though. Any other options / suggestions ?? Thanks, Matt.

Well Matt from looking at this and the fact that I also run Redhat 7.3 I see one thing wrong. Your default /etc/services file has your pop-3 as pop3. There are several ways to fix this, 1) either modify the /etc/services [bad idea], 2) Modify your run script to say pop3 [good choice], or 3) modify your run script to say 110 instead of pop-3 [best choice, unless you use a different port number]. Hope that helps some. Joe This the question I have just asked.I have modified the script again as suggested to reference pop3 instead of pop-3. I still cannot get the qmail-pop3d daemon to stay up longer than 1 second. I need to know if 1 second is whats expected as I would not expect the pop3 daemon to stay up all the time just spawn when called. I could be wrong though. Thanks, Matt.

I have added the / as you suggested, and the pop3 daemon starts up for 1 second then the status shows it never lives longer than a second.

[vchkpw] qmail/vpopmail cannot auth pop3 clients. No logging.
hi, I have a redhat 7.3 system running qmail/vpopmail/vqadmin/ and sqwebmail. All appears to be working well, ie send and recive messages from virtual accounts, webmail auth works fine, however I cannot get my pop3 clients to authorise and download mail. My Mail server has to interfaces, one connects to the internet (alesi.projecthugo.co.uk) the other is on my local lan (jordan.no-dns.co.uk) I have a domain called mdlan.co.uk - and an account matthew.darcy on mdlan.co.uk if I login to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using sqwebmail I can send / recived mail, make folders etc etc, however when I connect to it via pop3 using MS Outlook 2000 I get a poor MS connection error. I have tried connecting to the mail server via the internal address jordan.no-dns.co.uk and via the external system alesi.projecthugo.co.uk using the usernames [EMAIL PROTECTED] or matthew.darcy%mdlan.co.uk - same connection error every time qmail stats show pop3 is not staying up for longer than 1 second [root@jordan pop3d]# qmailctl stat /service/qmail-send: up (pid 30961) 925 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 1171) 2989243 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 30963) 925 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 1172) 2989243 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 31995) 0 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 1173) 2989243 seconds messages in queue: 0 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 I am not sure if this is normal as shouldn't the pop3d daemon only start up when called - if via a login request ? Also my logs in /var/log/qmail/pop3 have no information in them [root@jordan pop3d]# ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x2 qmaill root 4096 Dec 30 12:56 . drwxr-xr-x4 qmaill root 4096 Dec 30 12:30 .. -rw-r--r--1 qmaill nofiles 0 Nov 9 19:22 current -rw---1 qmaill nofiles 0 Sep 29 10:14 lock -rw-r--r--1 qmaill nofiles 0 Nov 9 19:22 state Any suggestions on how to debug this / progress this / fix this.
