I now have a functioning email server with one problem if my server reboots for any reason. I have to log in and type the comand
"popper" it will run fine. I have created the file in xinetd.d pop3 with the correct info as far as instructions I read somewhere. I checked the command path and it did work from the command line. Anyway the pop3 service I created will run at boot but if I telnet the server it connects then disconnects. If I disable the service a telnet connection is refused. So at this point I have to log in the box disable the pop3 service and manually enter the command popper. What am I missing here?
note*** the only pop3 service is the one I created for qpopper to run at boot from xinetd there is no other pop3 server service on my box.

thanks Have a Happy Easter
Rick

just edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the line

#Start Qpopper

/usr/local/lib/popper/./popper

or wherever your path to qpopper is
