i would like to have my own mailserver available at dsl 3.01. since the computer isnt connected to the internet but i need to send mails from php scripts to a normal email client... so i have installed postfix and qpopper via apt-get. postfix seems to run fine. the only problem is the pop3 server... i cant see any way to access or start the server. can ayone point me in to the right direction ? or can i use a other pop3 server ? ( it should be pop3, not imap, since i poll with a linux and a little windows clients the mails via local netwok.)

any help would be wonderful

Ok i have solved the problem a other way. i have deinstalled qpopper and installed pop3ad. this works very well. i had another provlem with postfix, after the installation and configuration, postfix cant access /var/mail/dsl. so i have made "mkdir /var/mail" and "mkdir /var/mail/dsl" as root, after this i musst make them available for dsl, so i have typed in "chown -R dsl.staff /var/mail/dsl". From now on, i could send a mail via smtp (postfix) and get them via pop3 (pop3ad)...
