It would be great if you could turn off line wrapping in your mailer.
Thanks.

It is hard to tell with the line wrapping, but after looking at your first
post of this file I believe the problem is that '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d`
is on a new line, when it should either be immediately after vchkpw or there
should be a \ as the last character on the vchkpw line. Fix this, the pop3d
service should start within 5 seconds after its fixed.
What you have:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 5000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
alesi.projecthugo.co.uk /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
What it should be:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 5000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
alesi.projecthugo.co.uk /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
Good luck,
Cory
Hi Cory,thanks for the input. the wrapping is not from my email client it is
the fact that I am using ms telnet and that is wrapping the text - I can't
turn this off it is just ms telnet is rubbish.
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.
[root@jordan qmail-pop3d]# ps axwwww|grep readproc

[root@jordan qmail-pop3d]#
(sorry about the wrap - )
and the script now looks like
[root@jordan qmail-pop3d]# cat -e run
#!/bin/sh$
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 5000000 \$
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \$

/var/qmail/bin/q
mail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1$
$
[root@jordan qmail-pop3d]#
I still can't connect - I am assuming this is because pop3 daemon is not
staying up longer than 1 second. I am re-reading the vchkpw documents I used
to install and configure vpopmail and it mentions setting up the qmail-pop3d
run script referencing the pop3 service from /etc/services
[root@jordan qmail-pop3d]# cat /etc/services | grep pop
# unfortunately the poppassd (Eudora) uses a port which has already
# been assigned to a different service. We list the poppassd as an
#3com-tsmux 106/tcp poppassd
#3com-tsmux 106/udp poppassd
pop2 109/tcp pop-2 postoffice # POP version 2
pop2 109/udp pop-2
pop3 110/tcp pop-3 # POP version 3
pop3 110/udp pop-3
pop3s 995/tcp # POP-3 over SSL
pop3s 995/udp # POP-3 over SSL
kpop 1109/tcp # Pop with Kerberos
poppassd 106/tcp # Eudora
poppassd 106/udp # Eudora
I am assuming pop-3 is the correct alias to put in the run script (as you
can see above) should it be pop3 though ?
Thanks for your time on this,
Matt.
