I'm attempting to setup vpopmail on my CentOS server (Media Temple). Everything is working like a charm, with the exception that I cannot login to the server from any pop3 client. Upon trying to login I get the following error:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.(mydomain).com responded: Login failed.
I'm running qmail (of course) with xinetd (not tcpserver). I've placed a file called pop3
into the folder /etc/xinetd.d
with the content:
service pop3
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = mail.(mydomain).com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
log_type = FILE /var/log/xinetd.log
log_on_success = HOST
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
Can anybody offer any guidance here? I've been unsuccessfully trying to make this happen for over a week.
