Hello,

I really need help (don't we all, haha):

I have qmail set up to where I can send mail but not receive.  I have it to
the point where the username/password popup comes up but when I enter my
user/pass, Outlook/Telnet gives the error: "-ERR unable to write pipe".
What can I do now, I've read/checked/configured all I know how.

-Is this a User/Maildir setup problem?

-Is this a checkpassword problem? (I'm not convinced it is, because when I
enter wrong password, the messagage changes to: -ERR "authorization failed")

My pop3d run script:

CODE
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 5000000 \
   /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 112 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
  pop3.mydomain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
2>&1

(I am on port 112 on purpose)

My latest 'current' log entry:
CODE
@400000004067cb891dffdcec starting delivery 1: msg 389216 to local

@400000004067cb891e1777e4 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks -chbojorq
