Greetings.
I had a nice little core dump today that halted my system.
The long-story-short version is that everything in /var got pooched, including Qmail. I was able to rebuild qmail just fine, and all is well, EXCEPT that I can telnet localhost 110 but the [valid] username/password combo doesn't allow me to access my ./Maildir. Needless to say, I get an error from my OE client on a Window$ box also.

I *was* able to connect to this port and receive mail before. I know that the box is receiving mail since I can check the ./Maildir directory with webmin. I've tried rebuilding my /var/qmail/users, but no luck.

Hmmm...wacky. I have no idea what I did, but somehow this problem automagically corrected itself.

Move along people, nothing to see here.
