I'm trying to install tpop3d using vmail-sql with maildirs.
I can authenticate, and log into tpop3d no problem, but I can't find
mail that's sitting in the directories. If I have exim deliver in
mailbox format, everything works fine (with no changes to the
tpop3d.conf file). Maybe I'm just reading stuff wrong, so here are my
configs and what stuff looks like when logging into tpop3d (This has
happened for both 1.4.1 and 1.4.2, currently using 1.4.1)
first I delivered a test message to the test account:
--------------------------------------
# /usr/eximtest/bin/exim -v testing@the-cave.net
From: stolen@thecave.net
To: testing@the-cave.net
Subject: Testing.
Here's a test message to read.
.

[root@derf tpop3d-1.4.1]# LOG: MAIN

T=MySql_local_delivery
LOG: MAIN
Completed
--------------------------------------
I then verified that there's a message there:
--------------------------------------

Here's a test message to read.
--------------------------------------
and then I logged in to the tpop3d server:
--------------------------------------
# telnet localhost 111
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

+OK Tell me your password.
pass xxxxxxx
+OK Welcome aboard! You have no messages at all.

+OK Scan list follows:
.
quit
+OK Done
--------------------------------------
So no messages for me, even tho there is one waiting in the box.
Here's what the mail server session looked like:
--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------
I'm thinking that by this line:
popbox.mbox_name), popbox.password_hash, domain.unix_user, 'bsd'
That the server is still trying to use the bsd mailbox format.
here's what tpop3d -h shows for available mailbox drivers:
Available mailbox drivers:
bsd BSD (`Unix') mailspool
maildir Qmail-style maildir
empty Empty mailbox
and here's what I've tried to specify in my config:
mailbox: maildir:/var/mail/SERVERS/$(domain)/$(localpart)
(I've also tried with bsd: and both maildir and bsd)
Where am I going wrong?
