| Post subject: | CentOS 6 & Virtualmin POP3 Problem |
Hi Everyone! I'm a newb when it comes to linux of any flavor at least on the administration end so please pardon my lack of knowledge 
I am running CentOS 6 and using Virtualmin control panel. I am having an email problem that I haven't found any real documentation on in a google search. My SMTP works just fine but I can not connect to POP3 with my email client. Anyone have any idea where I can begin to diagnose this problem? Alan |

You can start by checking the following log for errors - /var/log/maillog Hope that helps. |

There sseem to be ssome extra 'ss'ess in the passte that are either ssignificant or ssome ssort of passte error. Running "newaliases" should create the /etc/aliases.db file and make it happy. |

Okay I have done some playing around and so far everything works....EXCEPT...POP3 is still refusing my login from an outside email client. The log file information from /var/log/maillog is listed below. Any ideas would be helpful.

Oh yeah I did create that file as you had suggested but it did nothing. Is it looking for some sort of database? If so why wouldn't Virtualmin have created that upon install? I guess I don't understand the errors. P.S. The "s" thing going on is some kind of paste error between my console and this forum. Alan

Is dovecot running? I had to turn that on manually after installing virtualmin. |

Hmm, so you ran "newaliases" and it did not generate /etc/aliases.db? Hrm. Weird. You can also try "postalias /etc/aliases" which is the postfix-specific command for regenerating that map. |
