Hello, I have spent two hours debugging why neither local or virtual users can log into a mail system via pop.
I have now found the answer, but it was very obscure and yet obvious. echo '#!/bin/sh' > /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin' >> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'export PATH' >> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo 'exec tcpserver -H -R -v -c100 0 110 qmail-popup '$FQDN' \\' >> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run echo '/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1' >> /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run The above is a segment of a script that I use to create the run file. Myself being a C person found it hard to spot the error until I decided to run the tcpserver with logging output to the console so I can see whats going on. The users could then login without problem. So I rebooted. Users could not log in. Then I looked at the process table to see that a '\\' appearing after the domain name. Once I changed the \\ to \ the script was then fine, and no authorization errors!
