I am trying to create another mailhub.
Virtual sendmail domains works fine - i can send between
userA@real.com and userB@virt1.com and userC@virt2.com.
The routing is fine and sending mail from these users
on PC's and Mac's works perfectly.
Now to collect mail, I have installed qpopper2.2.
Telnetted to port 110 and it seems to be working fine.
But when I try to connect from the PC's, Eudora gives
me the message
"ERR I said USER fred
and then the POP server (fred@virt1.com) said :
ERR password for 'fred' is incorrect."
Basically :
sendmail is working fine. From unix, the virtual domains
work perfectly. sending from PCs/Macs also works fine
since that is SMTP.
Qpopper is running . But I can't log into the POP server
since it always compains that the passwords are wrong
(which they definitely are not)
If it helps, I did move /usr/home to /data/home
and change the symlink /home at one point.
I have tried moving it back to /usr/home without joy.
Can anyone shed any light on this ?
Thank you very much in advance.

ps. is it also normal to that if you kill sendmail and then
restart with /usr/sbin/sendmail, you get a
"root .... recipient names must be specified"
I get that even on a production machine for which
POP and virtual domains are working fine.
cheers.
