I have set-up QMail on a RH9 server according to directions at qmailRocks.Org.

At this point, I have set-up an e-mail address which I can receive mail at and send mail from if I am logged in through Squirrelmail. I am also able to use Eudora to check mail from the server using IMAP.

The only thing I have not been able to do is connect to POP3 and download the e-mail using Eudora.

It appears that nothing is listening on port 110:

CODE

# telnet localhost 110

Trying 127.0.0.1...

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

Further investigation shows there's some type of error going on with qmail-pop3d:

CODE

# ps aux | grep qmail-pop3d

root 5098 0.0 0.0 1352 48 ? S 02:35 0:01 readproctitle service errors: ...denied?supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-pop3d/run: access denied?supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-pop3d/run: access denied?supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-pop3d/run: access denied?supervise: fatal: unab

root 22087 0.0 0.0 4456 640 pts/1 S 06:21 0:00 grep qmail-pop3d

Any ideas as to what I have done wrong?

What do your log files show? Does it give an error about trying to start qmail-pop3d?
