[Gllug] Qmail problem

[will]

Hi All,

I have never used Qmail before but a customer has just installed it on one of 
their boxes and it doesn't work and they have asked us to look into it.  The 
problem at the moment is that POP3 does not seem to work (they are using the 
Qmail POP3 demon), here is the section of the /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl file that 
starts it up:

if svok /service/qmail-pop3d ; then
svc -u /service/qmail-pop3d

It is running because you can connect to the server fine, the problem is that it 
is giving authorisation failed for users:

[will at localhost will]$ telnet server.host.name.net 110
Trying <IPaddress of server.host.name.net>...
Connected to server.host.name.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <7440.1030701243 at server.host.name.net>
user test
+OK
pass test
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?  I have no idea why this might 
be failing, I guess the authentication method used is different, but How?

Thanks
Will
