    it actually says its "offline" not "stopped". my mistake

    in my installation of ISPConfig 2.1.1 (i know not the latest) the pop3 service doesnt seem to be running. im using postfix following EXACTLY how the Suse 10.0 Perfect Install guide says.

    SOmeone let me know how to get the pop3 service running. Obviosuly this is causeing errors in basicly everything that has to do with mail. (i.e. Webmail, which i just installed) Webmail gives me a php "connection refused on localhost:110" or something like that which means the pop3 service isnt running. also ISPConfig says its "offline"

    by the way, falko is the man and my new idol :)

    Postfix is not the deamon that handles pop3, pop3 is handled by either ipop3d, courier the pop3 daemon fom UW-Imap or some other pop3 daemon.

    In you case, pop3 is handled by the courier pop3 daemon.

    Please try to start pop3 with the command:

    /etc/init.d/courier-pop3 start

    Code:
    carolina:~ # /etc/init.d/courier-pop3 start
    -bash: /etc/init.d/courier-pop3: No such file or directory
    carolina:~ #

    YESS TILL IS AWESOME!!!!!!

    i ran that ls and noticed that the path to the courier pop was courier-pop not courier-pop3...started that and it worked perfectly

    now i just need to get it to start on boot

    thanks a lot

    PLease try this:

    chkconfig --add courier-authdaemon
    chkconfig --add courier-imap
    chkconfig --add courier-imap-ssl
    chkconfig --add courier-pop
    chkconfig --add courier-pop-ssl

    If you dont need the imap daemons, you can leave the imap lines out.
