Qmail install
Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie in qmail. I am trying to install qmail with the step-by-step guide and got screw up Part 11 - Starting qmail.My problem is when i do [root@africa salihou]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <2569.1113598073@mail.el-shabazz.com> user postmaster@mail.el-shabazz.com +OK pass salihou -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. that is what i get. And i don't remember in the process of the install if i have been asked for postmaster password. I can log in vqadmin and qmailadmin without any problem. Could somebody tell me what i am doing wrong? Also if possible how to retrieve or setup another postmaster password. Thanks to all Salihou from Cape Coast-Ghana West Africa |
If you can login to qmailadmin, you should be able to assign a new password to the postmaster. You may also want to change the password since you posted the username/password here on this site.
I recommend checking the output of qmailctl stat and be sure everything is up for more than 1 second. Its possible that MySQL isn't running when it's needed for vpopmail backend. Post the output of "ps -ef". The howto you're using should also include tests to be sure that vpopmail is working properly with mysql. Check those too. Also check the logs. /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d/current and the like. |
