Hi!


I'm trying to install qmail 4 the first time so I'm not so expert.

Now I'm trying to set checkpassword and qmail-pop3d for giving to the server
POP3 capabilities.

 

This is my qmail-pop3d run file

 

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 6000000 \

    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
\ fama-qmail.maldura.it /bin/chechpassword 

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

 

 

When I try to telnet to localhost port 110 with this command 

 

user andrea

OK+

pass andrea

 

I receive the following error

 

-ERR unable to write pipe

Connection closed by foreign host

 

As you can see I set the softlimit quota to 6000000 because it seems to be a
memory allocation problem but nothing has changed.

My system is redhat 9.0 and all the packages has been patched.  I don't use
VPOP or any other package, it's just a qmail standard installation.

The SMTP works fine!

 

What's wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks in advace.
