A little more diagnosis: /var/log/messages has some things from popa3d, as
when I log on as root and then execute popa3d from the command line to
look at my mailbox (I say USER JRM etc.). Looks OK.
I also executed the iptables command below, had no apparent effect.
However, if I log on to Linux as JRM and try to execute popa3d it says
"command not found", even if I cd to /usr/sbin where the executable is.
So I suspect there is a permissions problem. I have changed the permissions
for popa3d in /usr/sbin to "everybody can execute" it still won't execute it
for anybody except root.
Is there a config file for popa3d somewhere? I can't find one. How does it
know what to do?
Thanks to everyone for continuing assistance . . .
