[vchkpw] received email doesn't go into vpopmail accounts
hi i had a new Fedora Core 2 dedicated server that i put plesk on at goDaddy. All worked but I was getting tons of spam - on my previous box all this was handled via cpanel/exim/spamassassin so the qty of spam didn't bother me. I had the hardest time getting QmailRocks to work - got stuck on the qmail-scanner step. I really needed spamassassin and i actually bought it from Plesk, but it wouldn't work so i dumped/uninstalled all the qmail/qmailrocks stuff i could find and started over. i trashed all that and reloaded qmail per LWQ. if i send myself an email from my yahoo account, then it goes to my local Maildir file in a directory i setup under Plesk... when i created myself as a webmail user long ago. so something is still running from the plesk side, and i think thats why i can't get vpopmail to work. qmailctl reports that its only up 0 or 1 seconds - hey, i went through this long enough on the QMailRocks path to see the log and know that the problem is that vpopmail can't start... again, because the original "pop" system (whatever is was that Plesk injected) is still running. But i don't know how to stop it. At least I can get email by going to my server and do a "mail -f Maildir", but nothing ever shows up in any of the directories in the /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/username/Maildir style that were created by QmailAdmin. here's my LOG processes: qmaill 17247 0.0 0.0 1776 328 ?S Jun22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd qmaill 17251 0.0 0.0 2300 268 ?S Jun22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/pop3d qmaill 19181 0.0 0.0 2020 328 ?S Jun22 0:01 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/send here's the supervise processes: root 2191 0.0 0.0 1984 272 ?S Jun17 0:00 supervise qmail-smtpd root 2192 0.0 0.0 1872 272 ?S Jun17 0:00 supervise log root 2194 0.0 0.0 2192 272 ?S Jun17 0:00 supervise log root 2195 0.0 0.0 2228 272 ?S Jun17 0:13 supervise qmail-pop3d root 2196 0.0 0.0 2572 272 ?S Jun17 0:00 supervise log root 6410 0.0 0.0 2728 272 ?S Jun17 0:00 supervise qmail-send qmail processes: qmails 17378 0.0 0.0 2388 364 ?S Jun22 0:02 qmail-send root 17380 0.0 0.0 2644 308 ?S Jun22 0:00 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir qmailr 17381 0.0 0.0 2072 316 ?S Jun22 0:00 qmail-rspawn qmailq 17382 0.0 0.0 2624 300 ?S Jun22 0:00 qmail-clean and these two tcpserver processes: root 13600 0.0 0.0 2004 476 ?S Jun17 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.jaymer.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir qmaild 17245 0.0 0.0 2660 484 ?S Jun22 0:00 /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l mail.jaymer.com -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 20 -u 2020 -g 2020 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd and qmailctl reports: /service/qmail-send: up (pid 17378) 117117 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 19181) 116268 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 17245) 117164 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 17247) 117164 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 29087) 0 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 17251) 117164 seconds messages in queue: 0 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 i know that something "pop3-related" is running, cause my windows mail client can hit the server successfully... but there is nothing in any mailbox to retrieve. so, can anyone help me go about some steps to find out how to get vpopmail to start... or what else is running thats conflicting with its port already being in use. thanks a bunch jaymer...
