qpopper and qmail
Hello,
I'm having a little trouble getting qpopper_2.2-4 to work with
qmail_1.01-1 on a bo system.
I rebuilt the qpopper package with the changes suggested in the
qmail package for $HOME mailboxes.
The problems I am having have to do with inability to create
and use the temporary maildrop file in /var/spool/pop. I've
tried messing with directory permissions and some other build
definitions in the makefile and popper.h, but so far no luck.
I have a feeling this is some kind of setuid/setgid type
problem, but I'm kind of ignorant about most of that stuff.
The inetd/in.qpopper daemon is running as root.mail and my
account is in the mail group.
A sample of some of the debug messages I get when trying to
connect:

If I define KEEP_TEMP_DROP then I get:

I think I'll get this figured out eventually, but if anyone has already
gotten qpopper to work with qmail and would be willing to share
configuration information, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
