Hi Kris, Thanks for your help. I found the problem with multilog. It was bad perms with /var/log They were changed as a precaution against a possible disgruntled employee at the company where the server is. I should have really realized it when I did a chmod 777 /var/log/mail
Would you know how what I must do to get the toaster to read ~vpopmail/domains/ ? Vpopmail was -not- reinstalled, and is exactly as it was before any of this happened. MySQL was reinstalled. However I did backup /var/db/mysql and then put it back. mysql> use vpopmail; and mysql> select * from vpopmail; work and do show all the users. If I set my kmail client to go to the domain (default on the server) it (kmail) shows that "this users has no $HOME/Maildir" The way it is all setup, we did not use system accounts, only ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/$USER I hope that this can be fixed. Thanks in advance.
