But I am stuck at level 0 anyway ;)

Okay, I am a bit lost, since brackets and even dots have special meanings in regexes.
I am not a programmer though, so bear with me.
I have tried

listen-address: 62.8.64.4:110/^([a-zA-Z]+\.wananchi\.com)/ \
                212.49.74.4:110/^([a-zA-Z]+\.wananchi\.com)/ \
                192.168.50.3:110/^([a-zA-Z]+\.wananchi\.com)/ \


Obviously this is wrong somewhere because I get an error. When I test:

./tpop3d -f ./tpop3d.conf -d -v

I get:

TCP Wrappers support enabled, using daemon name `tpop3d'
listener_new: bind(62.8.64.4:110): Can't assign requested address
listener_new: bind(212.49.74.4:110): Can't assign requested address
listener_new: bind(192.168.50.3:110): Can't assign requested address
tpop3d.conf: no listen addresses obtained; exiting

That complicates it if I were to add tls=stls also.


Any help with a complete syntax for listen-address: that also has tls
support???

Hang on.. since I do not use auth-perl to authenticate users, does it
mean that I require only three directives to run the bulletins, viz:

onlogin-child-wait: true
auth-perl-enable: true
auth-perl-onlogin: do '/usr/local/etc/tpop3d/bulletins.pl';


We use auth-pam and auth-mysql for users. I only want to run the bulletins
stuff and that is wht auth-perl is coming into the mix.

Confusion reigns <LO>
