new install - mail error

[antpeks]

Today i did a new install on a CENT OS server.
i added one domain now i everything is working fine everything but the email i got the welcomes mail, stating my login details.

the mail log tells me:

Jan 15 23:32:05 hosted-by vm-pop3d[13767]: User 'joyscape' - failed auth, from=213.219.xx.xx
Jan 15 23:32:10 hosted-by vm-pop3d[13767]: Socket closed from 213.219.xx.xx


what is wrong, or where can i check i am 1000% sure the password is correct but i can't login not even on squirrelmail nor pop3.

Have you tried logging in as admin and resetting the password?

There must be something wrong with pop auth on the latest versions
Imap login works fine, but pop works not.

Where did you see the errors at?

/var/log/maillog

You might need to put vm-pop3d in debug mode to find out what is going on.

Worse case you can always upgrade to dovecot

Hello

The problem continues

Is there any alternative or older rpm for vm-pop3d?

Directadmin support can you please check?

I'm having the same issue. How do you setup IMAP?

 

[nicknn]

Just choose imap in your email client
I use eudora but works on thunderbird too
Or install the previous version from tar, works fine

rpm -q da_vm-pop3d
da_vm-pop3d-1.1.7f-2
rpm -e da_vm-pop3d-1.1.7f-2 # uninstall the rpm

wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/da_vm-pop3d-1.1.7f.tar.gz
tar xvzf da_vm-pop3d-1.1.7f.tar.gz
cd da_vm-pop3d-1.1.7f
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-debug
make
make install

#the vm-pop3d rc script is not instaled so we make a new one

FYI: this worked perfectly for me, I was having exactly the same problem. Thanks nicknn! (I posted teh question here http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24113)

Switch to dovecot .

The newest versions of SpamBlocker exim.conf file will only work with Dovecot unless someone else modifies them for vm-pop3d/mbox.
