In my case, under following situation, no pop3 request is available: the error is, "Password supplied for \"user\" is incorrect." o the system itself is NIS master server o there are some users on this host o POP3 server of Qpopper is running on this host o /etc/nsswitch.conf of this host has following three lines hosts: files dns passwd: files group: files After I changed nsswitch.conf to hosts: files dns passwd: files nis group: files nis the problem went away. If "nis" is removed from passwd line in nsswitch.conf, for example, qpopauth cannot find user pop. # qpopauth -list ALL qpopauth: "pop": userid unknown When "nis" is added again, no problem. # qpopauth -list ALL nakaji : APOP -- NAKAJI Hiroyuki
