Hi!

I'm new to tpop3d, but I'd like to use it for our virtual mailserver,
but have some unexpected errors, and I have no clue, what's wrong - it
may be a bug...

First of all, I'd like to use pam_mysql.so, but because of continuos
failure of authorization, I fall back to this -very simple-
configuration:

krisz:/home/asd/tpop3d-1.3.5# cat /etc/pam.d/tpop3d 
#%PAM-1.0
auth            optional                pam_warn.so
auth            required                pam_permit.so
#auth           required                pam_mysql.so user=root passwd=XXX db=admin usercolumn=User passwdcolumn=password

krisz:/home/asd/tpop3d-1.3.5# cat /etc/tpop3d.conf 
listen-address: 0.0.0.0
mailbox: bsd:/var/mail/$(user)
auth-pam-enable: yes
auth-pam-mail-group: mail

/var/mail/asd exists

I'm running tpop3d this way:
krisz:/home/asd/tpop3d-1.3.5# ./tpop3d -d
listener_new: gethostbyaddr(0.0.0.0): cannot resolve name
listener_new: 0.0.0.0: no domain suffix can be appended for this address

+OK Fine. Be that way.

As I see, there is not anything in the logs about PAM. 

I have not got any routine sending bug-reports, I'll make up leeway, if
anyone asks for more infos.

Thank you for advance: Daniel, from Hungary
