On Tue, 10 Sep 2002, the following reformatting occured:

: You may be missing the vpopmail bits when you're starting qmail-pop3d,

> 	I am now getting messages scrolling on the screen when I log as root
> 	saying "tcpserver: warning: dropping connection unable to run
> /var/qmail/bin/
> 	qmail-popup: file does not exist"
>
> 	I checked /var/qmail/bin/ and qmail-popup is certainly there.

This looks mightily like a permissions problem, in that the (qmail) user
that tcpserver is using to run qmail-popup simply cannot get into the
directory (/var/qmail/bin).

The qmail site (www.qmail.org) has a howto on appropriate permissions with
qmail and related packages.
