Help with setting up POP3 server

Post by Jagadeesan S. Krishnamurth » Wed, 19 May 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

I have installed qpopper and tried to telnet using,

telnet machine1 110

I got a message that goes ..... Connection closed by foreign host. Then I
did

telnet -d machine1 110 and I get cryptic messages that I do not understand,
followed by the same error.

How do I successfully install POP3 server? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jags

Well, if it is calling the POP3 server from inetd, make sure that
/etc/inetd.conf is setup properly, and that the daemon binary has execute
permissions (chmod u+x daemon).  Then HUP the inetd (killall -HUP inetd
works good for beginners  :) ), and everything should be ok.  Personally,
I wouldn't run Qualcomm QPOP on a Linux box, but that's your choice.  :)
If you are still having more problems, read a FAQ or something.  :)

Derek;
Which POP3 daemon would you recommend for Linux?
I have had qpopper going on for a long time in our Solaris boxes,
and the new versions work very well.
We are testing Linux as a mail server OS, any ideas with sendmail and
pop3 would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hannu

If you are happy with qpopper on Solaris, by all means keep on using it
on linux.

Some distributuions (redhat) only have the ipop3d version from the pine
people.

Thanks, I thought there should be any reason why qpopper wouldn't do
the job.
Back to the original question "why doesn't qpopper work under Linux":
When you setup qpopper in Linux, you have to consider which way your
Linux is configured.
If Linux uses /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files for authentication,
you have to compile qpopper differently:

./configure --enable-specialauth

and then "make" and that's it. So far mine seems to work fine.
In Solaris, you don't have to do that.

1. Home POP3 server connect to ISP POP3 server

Hello,

I'm a newbie for Linux. I already have a masq network at home serving
internet masq and file sharing. I wanna to setup a home POP3/SMTP server
for our family members and I only got a dial-up connection to the ISP
with one single email address. Is it possible to setup several "home"
email addresses within my private network but still be able to send out
to the world through my single account in the ISP?





I have tried to look at some HOW-To and books but nothing mentions on
this directly...

Thanks in advance

Kelvin
