Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to create another mailhub. Virtual sendmail domains works fine - i can send between userA@real.com and userB@virt1.com and userC@virt2.com. The routing is fine and sending mail from these users on PC's and Mac's works perfectly. Now to collect mail, I have installed qpopper2.2. Telnetted to port 110 and it seems to be working fine. But when I try to connect from the PC's, Eudora gives me the message "ERR I said USER fred and then the POP server (fred@virt1.com) said : ERR password for 'fred' is incorrect." Basically : sendmail is working fine. From unix, the virtual domains work perfectly. sending from PCs/Macs also works fine since that is SMTP. Qpopper is running . But I can't log into the POP server since it always compains that the passwords are wrong (which they definitely are not) If it helps, I did move /usr/home to /data/home and change the symlink /home at one point. I have tried moving it back to /usr/home without joy. Can anyone shed any light on this ? Thank you very much in advance. chas ps. is it also normal to that if you kill sendmail and then restart with /usr/sbin/sendmail, you get a "root .... recipient names must be specified" I get that even on a production machine for which POP and virtual domains are working fine. cheers.
