Hello,

I use 1.0_rc15 on Gentoo Linux and since upgrading from the previous version (0.97 something?), POP3S stopped working. My USE flags are

USE="[...]maildir [...] pop3d"

I configured Dovecot to use POP3S:

-- 8< -- # Protocols we want to be serving: # imap imaps pop3 pop3s #protocols = imap imaps

protocols=pop3s -- >8 --

The pop3 binary exists:

-- 8< -- # cd /usr/libexec/dovecot/ # dir total 3224 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56596 Dec 10 22:51 checkpassword-reply* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 708532 Dec 10 22:51 deliver* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 144664 Dec 10 22:51 dict* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 276188 Dec 10 22:51 dovecot-auth* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56596 Dec 10 22:51 gdbhelper* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 785052 Dec 10 22:51 imap* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178516 Dec 10 22:51 imap-login* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 708428 Dec 10 22:51 pop3* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 170188 Dec 10 22:51 pop3-login* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94476 Dec 10 22:51 rawlog* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 60928 Dec 10 22:51 ssl-build-param* -- >8 --

However only IMAPS is used:

-- 8< -- # /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

• Stopping dovecot... [ ok ]
• Starting dovecot... [ ok ]

netstat -l

Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN [...] -- >8 --

Any hints?

Thanks,
