I am trying to set up virtual pop accounts using Qmail. I know there are several ways of doing this, but the way I went with is outlined at http://www.pgregg.com/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.php I am not very familiar with Qmail, and cant seem to find any decent documentation really explaining everything. There is a file /var/qmail/users/assign that I am not really sure of the syntax and all the fields. According to the howto mentioned above, I should be able to do a line like this: =slushpupie-com-list:popuser:101:101:/var/qmail/popboxes/slushpupie-com/slushpupie -list::: which means all incoming mail addressed to list at slushpupie.com will use /var/qmail/popboxes/slushpupie-com/slushpupie-list/.qmail to decide how to deliver the mail In that file I have just the line ./Maildir/ and in that directory I have a Maildir directory. All is owned by popuser (UID=101). However, when I send mail to list at slushpupie.com (using that test mail server for the SMTP server) the message doesn't seem to go anywhere. I check the logs and it seems to be receiving the message ok. Then there is the POP authentication, I am using the method described in the howto (only I am using the Jedi checklocalpwd program, not his modified one (for whatever reason, his didn't do the logging he says it does). When I telnet to port 110, here is what happens: dogbert:/$ telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to dogbert. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <4594.996505155 at dogbert.slushpupie.com.slushpupie.com> user slushpupie-list +OK pass password -ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir Connection closed by foreign host. dogbert:/$ I am sure the password is correct, because I get an authentication error if I use something else. So What is happening here? Thanks, Jay -- Jay Kline list at slushpupie.com http://www.slushpupie.com/
