Hi;
I've successfully installed qmail using the FreeBSD port system. However, I have not been so lucky with vpopmail. I've added the following lines to /etc/inetd.conf:

env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" tcpserver -H -R -x /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c20 -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp /v
ar/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 > /dev/null &

env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" tcpserver 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup orbital.inter7.com /usr/local/vpopmai
l/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &

and I've successfully executed these commands:

chown vpopmail:vchkpw ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
chmod 6711
~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw

and I've successfully added a domain and an email account, yet ps|grep vpopmail brings up nothing! What do?
TIA,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

In case no one has answered your question yet -- vpopmail does not run
as a process, so you won't be able to pick it up using a "ps" command.
There are a couple ways to ensure that vpopmail is running correctly;
make sure that: 1- qmail is running, 2- your database (or other
back-end) is set up correctly, 3- listing users on a domain works, from
an application such as vqadmin (this shows that vpopmail can access your
data source correctly), and finally, 4- that sending a message to a user
on your domain works correctly. If all of these tests pass, vpopmail
should be properly configured and running on your system.

If any of these steps fail, there are multiple dependencies you can
check. Depending on your configuration, you may have other processes
that should be running, such as spamd for spam filtering, and clamd for
virus filtering. Be sure to also look in any logs related to qmail for
any signs of breakage. You may also want to check out a site such as
www.qmailrocks.org for more help configuring your system.

Best,

I'm up now...but it was one tough weekend!
Thanks,
