Openmail POP3

[Sergey Klusov]

Hi!
I've installed Openmail 6.0.0 on HP-UX 11.00
and cann't get POP3 to work :(
There is in.imap41d module in the memory, but there is no in.pop3
What's the problem with that might be?
Also i've installed latest(?) patch PHSS_21945, but it didn't help

Sergey,

a few things to try:

check /etc/inetd.conf for the line:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /opt/openmail/bin/in.pop3d in.pop3d
(all one line)

also

/etc/services:

pop3 110/tcp pop-3 # PostOffice Protocol

Make inetd re-read its' config:

# inetd -c

test with :

# telnet localhost 110
Trying...
Connected to localhost
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK OpenMail POP3 interface ready on:

If you get this this pretty much proves it is working.

But: having said all of the above my system is 10.20 and B.05.10... (I know, I know!)

Hope this is helpful anyway
