allow postfix pop3 from local mail dir (/var/mail)
Welcome,

I have problem, I want receive emails from /var/mail directory.


First that's how look /var/mail

Code:
webserver:/var/mail# ls
administrator  nagios  virtual  vu2009
webserver:/var/mail#

This file, "administrator", have mails inside. Now i read them using "webmail user mail read module", but i want receive it, from my external server.


Next, i change postfix configuration (main.cf) and add

Code:
home_mailbox = /var/mail
MAILDIRPATH= /var/mail

then i want try login on to administrator account.

Code:
webserver:/var/mail# telnet 127.0.0.1 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Hello there.
user administrator
+OK Password required.
pass (secret)
-ERR chdir Maildir failed
Connection closed by foreign host.
webserver:/var/mail#



If someone have, any idea... i will be gratefull for help.
Regards
