Sounds like your filesystem might be full.

Subject: qmail+vpopmail witchcraft
hi
I'm running qmail as my smtp and pop3 server. I have normal
unix-accounts and virtual accounts (qmail accounts) and qmail and
vpopmail are installed by the book. I made a virtual domain and some
virtual pop3 accounts with vpopmail which are made correctly.
My pop3 line in inetd (yes, I'm using inetd for now, but that will
change once I got this working) is:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup my.full.domain
/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
The problem is that nor the normal users, or the virtual/qmail accounts
can collect their mail. I've sent the accounts some mail using my own
smtp server which worked (the mail is in the $HOME/Maildir of those
users and I see the entires in the logs).
A little test:
[snip]
#telnet localhost 110
Trying 1.2.3.4 ...
Connected to my.full.domain.
Escape character is `^]`.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user username
+OK
pass testpass
-ERR authorization failed
[/snip]
in my /var/log/messages, I get:
[snip]
Sep 18 16:15:31 my.full.domain vchkpw: vchkpw: Read error [/snip]
Always the "-ERR authorization failed" message. This is an
authentification problem for sure. I replaced vchkpw with
/bin/checkpassword and then only the unixaccounts work (which is normal
because checkpassword gets its passwords from /etc/passwd or
shadow) I see several people having the same problem, but no answers...
not on qmail.org, nor on the mailinglist-archive. I'v been working on
this problem for 2 days now.
Any help would be appreciated!
Best regards
