Hi,

I've installed tpop3d from the ports. I'm using standard mailboxes in
/var/mail. With tpop3d I'm unable to retrieve mails. In maillog I have:

Sep  8 18:12:15 tom-test tpop3d[5993]: dotfile_lock(/var/mail/tom): unable to
create hitching post: Permission denied

I belive this is a problem with permission of /var/mail. It's working when
setting /var/mail to 777, standard is 775.

Kind regards,

Thomas.
