I've not had much experience with the pop3d that comes with RH (i had a few problems wih it). I have been using vm-pop3d for a few months now and it runs like a dream. I've never had to restart it but I just tested and... [root@potchin root]# service vm-pop3d restart Shutting down vm-pop3d: [ OK ] Starting vm-pop3d: [ OK ] i HIGHLY recommend this daemon - does exactly what it says on the tin ;) http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/ Jeff On Wed, 2003-11-26 at 01:53, Ed Wilts wrote: > On Tue, Nov 25, 2003 at 05:35:15PM -0800, j.travis wrote: > > Is there any way to start the POP server?
