Im using RunAsUser in sendmail. QPOPPER can send but not get.

Hi,
I am taking advantage of the RunAsUser in sendmail. It works great. Im having a problem with Qpopper. I can send mail, but cannot receive mail off my server. Does anyone know what I have to change in Qpopper to get this to work.
Thanks for you help.

Qpopper runs under xinetd by default. Are you sure it is running? You can make it run in server mode by recompiling it using ./configure --enable-standalone Other than command line options when you compile, there are no other configuration files to mess with. Your pop server just listens on its port and when a request comes in, it matches the user name and password and gets the file from /var/spool/mail/username and sends it to the client. If you need special handling or filters, that is done via the local mailer (procmail).
