Qmail-pop3d failing to authenticate

Asked by j4jones in Qmail Email Server, Linux Administration

Tags: Qmail POP3D Checkpassword Authentication failure

Hi

   I have been running qmail for several years. Recently, I had to bring up a hot backup server after a mail server crashed. The admin I put on this did NOT do a full job of installing qmail and I have had nothing but headaches re-tracing her steps. Anyway, I have the basic install of qmail up and running (it is sending and receiving emails). The trouble comes in with Qmail-pop3d. It is failing to authenticate from remote connections using user accounts and passwords I KNOW exist. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
JJ
