I fixed the SMTP-problem... But troubles with pop3d still remains
Where do I change the path where pop3d searces for mail?? Now it's
searching in /var/spool/mail/$USER....

I want to change it to $HOME/Maildir...

Where do I change this?

(Hmm... I'm pretty new with Linux...)

Here's a patch that I put together for pop3d. This is designed for the
version of pop3d that runs with Shadow passwords under Linux; however, I'd
imagine that the mods should be similar for the non-shadow version of
pop3d as well.
