RE: [gentoo-dev] Qmail help!

[Clay Mitchell]

Ok, getting there. Installed checkpassword, fixed the syntax of the
rblsmtp in the smtp line and I can connect to both the smtp and pop
server.

With the pop server, I try to log in, give it my username and pass, and
it gives me:

-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.

Now the user I'm using is a valid user... Does qmail have it's own user
list? Any ideas here?

Thanks
-Clay

Yeah, one other thing I noticed is that pm has the checkpasswd program
apropriately as a depend, but then proceeds to list checkvpw as the
password verification program to run.

This is part of Bruce G.'s vmailmgr suite, and is certainly not listed
as a depend.  So Clay, you'll want to change /usr/local/bin/checkvpw to
whatever the path to checkpasswd is.  Follow?

I might even suggest masking qmail, or modifying the ebuild to pm.  It
clearly will work as a sending agent 'right-outa-thebox', but as a
complete solution it's not quite ready.
