That line runs fine when I do not use spop3d.conf ;-)

Okay so we're together in this, yes? Thank God.

Here: I have changed my config file to the one below:

<Global>
        AllowRootLogin  "no"
        MailDropName    "/var/mail/%s"
        MailDropType    mailbox
#       UserBullFile    .spop3d-blurp /* It's just an example */
        ReadExpire      0
        AllowNonIP      false
</Global>
#
<VirtualHost freebsd.co.ke>
        MailDropName    "/var/spool/virtual/freebsd.co.ke/%s"
        MailDropType    mailbox
        AllowNonIP      true
        DoMapping       true
        MapUserFile     "/etc/virtual/freebsd.co.ke/aliases"
</VirtualHost>



Then When I try to access it...

alligator# telnet 0 110
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
alligator#

then...

alligator# less /var/log/messages

Jan  7 20:15:59 alligator spop3d[16756]: connect from alligator.wananchi.com (62.8.64.108)
Jan  7 20:15:59 alligator spop3d[16757]: config file: line 2, column 1: unknown option name


I don't know what it hates here!!



Can spop3d authenticate users externally like vm-pop3d ?? Even against MySql db?
