I got it working in the past, but I've since changed my mail configuration. Mail is forwarded by procmail into a mbox in my home directory $HOME/Mail/newmail. I've set the MAIL environment variable to the path to this directory. I set up qpopper in inetd, and it responds when I telnet into port 110 or 995. When I try to use another machine to collect mail from the server, I can see the messages that pass in the log (see below). Here's the log from one of the attempts: May 6 21:30:46 yuri qpopper[29085]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at hostname (192.168.1.100); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA (RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits May 6 21:30:47 yuri qpopper[29085]: username at hostname (192.168.1.100): -ERR [SYS/TEMP] POP authentication DB not available (user username): No such file or directory (2) May 6 21:30:47 yuri qpopper[29086]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at hostname (192.168.1.100); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA (RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits May 6 21:30:47 yuri qpopper[29086]: Stats: username 0 0 0 0 hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Can anyone give me some pointers. I think that the problem is that qpopper doesn't know where my maildrop is. I can't seem to be able to work out where to tell qpopper where to look. Cheers, Tim -- mail@tjstephens.com
