    good morning all-
    this is a fresh install on FC4, phpMyadmin installed.
    i have added appx 10 domains, some with codomains-
    i canot get the pop3 service to go online- and cannot send mail to this server. i have tried to go though the forums- but have not seen this problem listed. ( is there a way to search only in ispconfig forums??)
    i have re-installed everything- as my first attempt to do this was working fine til i botched up a few things- and it seems the most prudent thing was to start from fresh- and try to not make same mistakes.

    thank you all for your input- and a great program.

    POP3 offline- fresh install- follow up

    a few details i forgot to post-
    postfix and sendmail installed-
    phpMyadmin installed-

    after posting the firs message- the forum system- gave me some similar threads- one talked about dovecot being istalled- yum states it is there. yum also states all pacjkages are current- i did an update after FC4 nstall- prior to ispconfig install.

    thanks again-

    You can use Postfix OR Sendmail, but not both at the same time.

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? Did you disable SELinux?

    pop2 not online

    also- i do believe that SELinux is disabled. is there a simple way to check- besides reboot?

    pop3 not online

    falko-
    i should have searched first- then responed-

    selinuxenabled && echo $?

    gives no output, i believe that means it is disabled.

    Do you get a error when you run:

    /etc/init.d/dovecot start

    ok0-
    i took the gamble, and installed dovecot. seems to be working properly- ish. POP23 is now online.
    however- i cannot get my mail. i am told incorrect password.
    <correction>
    The server said: "Authentication failed."
    </correction>

    i have changed it in both the server and my email client (kmail) to no avail.

    Change something for your users in the ISPConfig interface so that the users' configuration files get rewritten.
