Aloha,
Using help from this list and Greg Lehey's book I have built a FreeBSD
6.2 server for a mail server and Installed Postfix from ports and tested
it OK.
I can see mail on the server in the expected box by telnet. I installed
pop3 to capture the mail on another FreeBSD 4.11 box on another
network using firebird just like a client would over the internet.
The passwords are in the /etc.passwd for local users.
Errors:
>
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.internetohana.net
resopnded: Password supplied for alp at internetohana.org is incorrect.

on the box istelf i get:
telnet localhost 110
Connected to localhost.internetohana.org.
OK

telnet mail.internetohana.org
Trying ....(etc)
OK Qpopper.

telnet mail.hawaiidakine.com 110
mail.hawaiidakine.com 110: No address associated with hostname.

This is a virtual host under /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
hawaiidakine.com anything
info at hawaiidakine.com hdkmail
The alp mail is a local usr for testing and hdkmail is the local user for hawaiidakine.com the virtual domain.
Mozilla is the email reader I set up for fetching the info at hawaiidakine.com mail stored in the hdkmail box.
I maybe have faulty postfix settings.
Anybody know of a how to to set these virtual hosts up to respond properly? I have all of them in the local host under /var/mail
Thanks.
