 Posted: Sun Oct 20, 2002 4:58 pm Post subject: Another qmail question :) |
 |
|
I installed qmail with qmail-pop3d, set it up but i cant get my pop3 service to start, smtp is working fine though.
if i telnet to localhost 110 i get an connection refused and if i start /service/qmail-pop3d/run i get the message:
/usr/sbin/tcpserver: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory
Can somebody help me here?
Thx |

You need to give qmail-pop3d more resources. Edit the file /service/qmail-pop3d/run. On the second line it says something like this:
| Code: |
exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 10000000 \
|
This could very well be my modified line. The 10000000 here is the amount of memory allocated, you should try a higher (higher than what yours says now!) value for yourself. |

|
|
Ok it's not over yet, so it seems 
smtp mail works perfectly, pop3 mail works too,
BUT
i cant receive mails as user root, i can send them as every user and receive them as every user EXCEPT root.
When i try to telnet localhost 110 i can do USER and PASS as root but immediately after the PASS command, the connection is being closed with the message "-ERR unable to scan $HOME/Maildir"
Any help?
Thx in advance |

This is the default in qmail. No mail will be delivered to root. You gotta create a /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root file. So just type something like | Code: | # cd /var/qmail/alias
# echo popsickle > .qmail-root
# ln -s .qmail-root .qmail-postmaster
# ln -s .qmail-root .qmail-mailer-daemon |
to set up the basic needed aliases delivered to your user popsickle.
Again, I recommend Life with qmail as a good starter site to learn about it.
Hth,
Larde.
edit: btw, the first time I ran qmail I also wondered what the heck is going on with the root mail, because I didn't read all the documention before... But once I got into it, I really started to enjoy running qmail.
