BM> Does the named maildir actually exist?

Yes, it does exist, but I did some other mistakes. Uid/gid 12/8 didn't exist, it's 8/12. This took me one step further. I got a message in /var/log/maillog, which said that it was unable to access the maildir. But the whole maildir is accessible by 8/12. Then I changed the homedir to /var/mail. Like this, the maildir is within homedir and IT WORKS. :)

Now my next problem. This line is out of /var/log/maildir:

Sep 22 18:47:24 server1 pop3d: LOGIN,user=moretti^M,ip=[::ffff:X.X.X.X]

I've already recognized this "^M" before I got all the above problems solved. Where does it come from? Somehow I expect const char *user to be the username as entered by the user without any specials chars... The same thing applies to const char *pass. Well, I can crop this char in my auth code, but then again I think, there is something not working properly.

Thank you for your help.
