Hi I am new to both FreeBSD and qmail. However, I am definitely not new to unix/linux (2 years of HP-UX and 7 years of Linux experience). I am using a pf firewall on a machine that will host a webserver as well as my mailserver. I am interested in setting up IMAP access to email for my users (do not care for POP3 access). However, I found installation instructions on qmailrocks.org and followed them to the letter (note to the author - /usr/home/vpopmail does not exist - I had to create it by hand - maybe the first shell script on step 2 needs some editing ?), until I installed vqadmin and setup the passwd and placed .htpasswd in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin, restarted apache (built from ports), and tried to login through the cgi interface from another machine. Ports www, 8080 and https are open in /etc/pf.conf. But I keep getting "Waiting for <FQDN>" and never can authenticate with the right password. The question is : What am I possibly doing wrong ? A port that is not open, or is it some other problem that a FreeBSD / Qmail newbie might have missed ? Thanks (especially to the author who has created nearly idiot-proof installation instructions (so far) ).
