qmail authorization failing?
I installed qmail with vpopmail on my friends server
I forgot to put qmail in the startup (rc.local)
so what he did by accident was reboot the server
Whatever his reason was, doesnt matter
anyhow, point is, he rebooted, qmail didnt start back up
He was asking me how come his mail wasnt working
I logged in and realized qmail wasnt on
so i ran /var/qmail/rc &
and i started up the smtpd and pop3 thru tcpserver
as below:
linux1548:/root# /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -v -x/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u522 -g522 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd| /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3&
linux1548:/root# /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -u 522 -g 522 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup blackonyx.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir&
but for some reason
when i run telnet localhost 110
run:
USER username
PASS pass
it says authorization failed
-ERR authorization failed
i tried usernames that worked before the reboot
i tried creating new usernames, still, same problem
i create a brand new username thru vpopmail, and it still does that
Does anyone know why?
These qmail problems are really getting to me. I'm thinking about just installing some simple pop3 server
