Macintosh user needs help with pop3d
Hi folks!


I am not a power user, and have been able to enable Postfix to run on my Macintosh. It was a little bit difficult for me. But I payed good attention, while following an Internet Tutorial.

Postfix version 2.1.5

I can send out emails, from local accounts or even from other computers on the network.

I am having a problem with pop3:

The GUI email programs on other computers tell me that I am supplying with the wrong password, and this is what I get on the terminal window on the Mac:


correiofacil-com:~ bernardo$ telnet 127.0.0.1 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 [127.0.0.1] 2004.88 server ready
user bernardo
+OK User name accepted, password please
pass xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-ERR Bad login

I have reinstalled the whole system 3 times, and still get the same message.

My guess is that somehow pop3 daemon is not retrieving the password correctly from the system.

May be someone could help me?

Thank you!

hpcopy

hpcopy(1)						      General Commands Manual							 hpcopy(1)

NAME

       hpcopy -- copy files from an HFS+ volume

SYNOPSIS

       hpcopy [-m  | -b  | -t  | -r  | -a ] source-path ... target-path

Description
       hpcopy copies files and directories from an HFS+ volume.  If multiple files are to be copied, the target path must be a directory.

       Since Macintosh files contain two forks, which are not representably in Unix file systems, copies use one of several translation modes:

       -m	 Mac  Binary  II  is  a format for binary file transfer.  Both forks of the Macintosh file are preserved.  This is the recommended
		 mode for transferring arbitrary Macintosh files.

       -b	 BinHex also preserves both forks of the Macintosh file.  In addition, the encoded file contains only ASCII characters, making	it
		 suitable for electronic mail transmission.

       -t	 Text  copies  only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.  In addition, this mode
		 translates end-of-line characters.  This translation should be used for text files.

       -r	 Raw Data copies only the data fork of the Macintosh file, while the contents of the resource fork are lost.

       -a	 Automatic mode applies a set of predefined heuristics to determine the appropriate translation.  This is the default if  no  mode
		 is specified.
