Openwebmail pop3 problems

not reciving emails

[NancyJ]

This might not be the right forum for this, so if it needs moving let me know.
I just installed openwebmail and since then my pop3 seems to have stopped working - well we're not longer recieving emails. Emails go out but they dont come in.
We're using ipop3 as part of xinetd on Red Hat 9, the deamon is up and running and you get telnet to it on port 110 and log in to it but it just says there are no emails.
I'm not getting bounce backs from the emails that I've sent in to the server, they just seem to evaporate.
I've tried sending from internal and external addresses - nothing.

I'm not familiar with Openwebmail, so I can't give any specific suggestions there. But if you can telnet into the POP3 server and authenticate, then it appears to be running correctly.

Check /var/log/maillog to see what it says about mail that's coming in to the server. Make sure that your MTA is dropping the mail wherever the POP3 server expects to find it.

This is what my mail log says:
Jul 16 12:45:33 ns sendmail[643]: k6GBjX4k000643: from=<[e-mail]>, size=547, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[e-mail]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=rubidium.webfusion.co.uk [212.67.202.84]
Jul 16 12:45:33 ns sendmail[644]: k6GBjX4k000643: to=<[e-mail]>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=30770, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Not sure how to check, A) where my MTA is putting the mail and B)where my pop3 is trying to find it...

Looks like you're using sendmail maybe? I believe it's maildrop is in /var/spool/mail, with the file being named that of the user receiving mail. You should be able to search that file and see that the email is there. I don't know what POP3 server you're running, so I wouldn't know how to configure it to look where sendmail is dropping the email.
