-ERR unable to write pipe

[TankerKevo]

I am running RedHat 9 on a 1.8gHz AMD. I have tried eliminating any firewall issues by dissabling them, both on my router and my box. I have q-mail installed with an assortment of add-on programs, see

http://www.qmailrocks.org/install_rh.htm

.

Has anyone dealt with this error before? I may just have to re-do the entire setup because I can't seem to find where I messed up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have exactly the same problem using RedHat 9 on a Celeron1.7Hz machine using qmail-1.05 following instructions by

http://www.qmailrocks.org/install_rh.htm

Have not managed to figure out what is going on...

Fellas,

It's possible that your /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run script is not configured correctly. Here's what it should look like:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
exec tcpserver -H -R -v -c100 0 110 qmail-popup your_hostname_here /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1


Also, try taking a look at the logs. Check out the pop3d logs at /var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d/current and then try logging in. See if an error message is generated.

Good Luck,
Qmailrocks.org

I also followed the instructions on

http://www.qmailrocks.org

and after reviewing the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run scripts it seems to match the instructions correctly. I am getting "authorization failed" after I telnet to localhost 110 after password

Please Help

Hello,

My pop3d run script is:

#!/bin/sh 
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 5000000 \ 
   /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 112 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ 
  pop3.mydomain.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

(I am on port 112 on purpose)

I have the same exact problem as _TankerKevo_ above (pipe error), any other suggestions?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks -c

I am having the same problem. I have copied qmailrocks script subs. my mail server host name with the same result.

HELP!!!

I have the same problem using FC3 and following the qmailrocks.org instrucctions.

I think this problem is given just for Fedora or RedHat users and qmailrock. isn't it?

I would really recommend you all follow

http://www.lifewithqmail.com/lwq.html

You will also get a better understanding on the workings of qmail.
That said, I seem to remember this being related to smtp-auth, perhaps a patch is needed. Sorry, I can't help you much further.
