Thanks Shane, i changed my run script to the following but still i hv the same error. this time i also tried to telnet to my port 110
telnet localhost 110 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass xxxx ERR $Home/Mailbox doesnt exist for this user. Connection closed by remote host. It successfuly authenticates [EMAIL PROTECTED] but rejects the user because the user doesnt hv Mailbox. this is true because this is a virtual user. i am only able to access mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] thru sqwebmail but not thru Outlook express - POP. then i tried telnet localhost 110 user [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass xxxx ERR authentication failed. Connection closed by remote host. i think the reason why it happens is that vopomail doesnt know anything about ojoobala.com. i compiled ./vadddomain as mail.ojoobala.com. the only domain i see under home/vpopmail/domain is mail.ojoobala.com but no ojoobala.com. i also tried to remove ojoobala.com from locals. then i tried to send mail to ojoobala.com then nothing happens. there is no mail either in /home/vpopmail or in /home/balaji/Mailbox. i checked permissions of the directory they hv proper permissions for vpopmail:vchkpw. Some more details of my setup. i hv a single static IP address and i use it for web and email. My webserver and email are behind firewall and i do a port forward to my servers. So i dont hv a separate static address for my mailserver. mail.ojoobala.com is my mail server machine name which is behind firewall. Thats the reason when some one tries to resolve my domain name they poin to same IP address. thanks a lot, -B --- Shane Chrisp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Err, typo, get rid of the extra 0 110.. > > #!/bin/sh > VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` > VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` > > exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ > /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 \ > -u"$VPOPMAILUID" -g"$VPOPMAILGID" 0 110 \ > /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ > mail.oojoobala.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw > /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 > > Shane > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Shane Chrisp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2003 1:18 AM > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: RE: [vchkpw] Unable to access mail using > POP and > >domain issues with vpopmail > > > > > >Hi Balaji, > > > >It doesn't look like you have your popd server > running as the > >vpopmail user. > >Try: > > > >#!/bin/sh > >VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` > >VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` > > > >exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ > >/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 \ > >-u"$VPOPMAILUID" -g"$VPOPMAILGID" 0 110 0 110 \ > >/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ > >mail.oojoobala.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw > >/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 > > > > > >Check that the home dir's have been created with > the correct > >permissions of > >vpopmail:vchkpw as well. > > > >Regarding your other issue, you can use > valiasdomain to link > >the 2 domains > >together, however, it is more common to setup your > domain name > >as only the > >domain part.
