Qmail is working. Can't log into Pop3 server
I have installed Qmail via Lifewithqmail instructions. Qmail is working fine. The user directories are getting mail. I am using the qmail pop serve with checkpassword. When I check my mail with outlook I get a message saying the user has no $home/Maildir. Everything seems to be working. I just can't log in from the outside

This is on a Redhat ES3 server.

I can telnet to the mail server from my pc
+OK <4426.1167443997@my.mail.com>
user sdunn
+OK
pass studboy1
-ERR authorization failed
I also tried sdunn@my.mail.com and got the same results.

I telneted to localhost and here is what happened
[root@mail bdallas]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <5341.1167444889@my.mail.com>
user sdunn
+OK
pass studboy1
-ERR this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Connection closed by foreign host.


when I run the checkpassword test it works:
[root@mail qmail-pop3d]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup hello /bin/checkpassword pwd
+OK <4571.1167444213@hello>
user sdunn
+OK
pass studboy1
/home/sdunn
[root@mail qmail-pop3d]#

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
Here is my qmailctl stat

[root@mail qmail-pop3d]# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 2716) 1947 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 2717) 1947 seconds

/service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 3301) 1422 seconds

messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

Here is my qmail-pop3d/run file:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
my.mail.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

I have been at this for about 9 hours now so any help will be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info just let me know.

NAME

       qmail-control - qmail configuration files

INTRODUCTION

       You can change the behavior of the qmail system by modifying qmail's control files in /var/lib/qmail/control.

       qmail  can  survive  with  just	one  control  file, me, containing the fully-qualified name of the current host.  This file is used as the
       default for other hostname-related control files.

       Comments are allowed in badmailfrom, locals, percenthack, qmqpservers, rcpthosts, smtproutes, and virtualdomains.  Trailing spaces and tabs
       are allowed in any control file.

       The following table lists all control files other than me.  See the corresponding man pages for further details.

	      control		  default	     used by

	      badmailfrom	  (none)	     qmail-smtpd
