Hi,

You need to install qmail on server in order to install qmail-pop3d.
There are three utilities need for the qmail-pop3d.

1. checkpassword : it is used for authentication qmail-pop3d.
2. qmail log account name
3. qmail POP3 service directory : /var/qmail/service/pop3d (by default)

Once you check all the above, You need to create service directory from qmail-pop3d-conf :

qmail-pop3d-conf /bin/checkpassword qmaill /var/qmail/service/pop3d

got to /var/qmail/service/pop3d :

cd /var/qmail/service/pop3d

allowing connections from your POP3 clients

111.222.333.444:allow
555.666.777.888:allow

it can also be done by add-client scritp :

./add-client 111.222.333.444 555.666.777.888

Compile tcp into a binary for tcpserver

make

set pop3d as service in svscan

ln -s /var/qmail/service/pop3d /service

svscan will start the service.
