[CLUE-Tech] sendmail & qpopper

[Randy Arabie]

I'm adding pop3 to my mail server for use on my LAN (no public 
access). I can't convince my wife to use Linux...yet, so I'm 
setting up pop3 for her.

I've got qpopper 4.x installed and configured.  I can retrieve 
her email w/ fetchmail from my account on the mail server.

However, I can't get a connection w/ MS Outlook on a PC, Communicator
on a PC, or w/ fetchmail on my NetBSD box.  Here is the output from 
fetchmail -v on the NetBSD box:

<snip>

dumbledore: {30} /usr/pkg/bin/fetchmail -v -f ruth_fetch
fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying mail.arabie.org (protocol POP3) at Tue Feb 26 21:42:46 2002: poll started
fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying mail.arabie.org (protocol POP3) at Tue Feb 26 21:44:01 2002: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: normal termination, status 2
dumbledore: {31} 

</snip>

About my qpopper config:

	1) My config command was: ./configure --enable-specialauth 
		--with-pam --enable-log-login --enable-shy
	2) I added these two lines to /etc/hosts.allow
		popper: .arabie.org
		popper: 192.168.1.*
	3) I'm starting qpopper vi xinetd.d, here is the pop3 file:

<snip>

	service pop3 
	{ 
		socket_type  =  stream     
   		protocol  =  tcp     
		wait  =  no     
		user  =  root     
		server  =  /usr/local/sbin/popper     
		server_args  =  qpopper -s     
		port  =  110     
	}

</snip>

It seems to be something with hosts.allow....Anyone see my blunder???

TIA
