Subject: Re: Running as daemon in Alpine

Thanks for the help solar,

Now it runs as daemon. Now, I get an issue authenticating users. I have a user foo,

When I do

telnet localhost:110
+OK
USER foo
+OK
PASS something
-ERR
Connection closed by foreign host

Maildir exists and the password is right. What is happening?
