Default E-Mail account doesn't work correctly

[ATN Networks]

Hi All,

Last Friday we migrate one of our DirectAdmin servers to a new DirectAdmin server. Since that time users can't login to their default E-Mail account anymore.

With the default account I mean the account whay DirectAdmin mades by adding a new hostingsaccount. DirectAdmin made this account as accountname@domain.com.

On the old server users can login by using normal pop connection on port 110 by using their accountname and password. Now they onley can view the mail by using webmail.

How can I fix it this problem? Mutch users had use that account by default :confused:

If webmail works then any POP client should also work. Have you tracked your logs to see what happens when they try to login?

John from DA Support send me the Solution. The solution is here: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=134

The written error isn't the same error then I had but the solution is the same.

By install Custombuild I changed the authentication in /etc/pam.d/vm-pop3d by exident.

Thanks for Reply

I got a similar problem. when i send email to the default user i got the error in the bounce back email.

default user email = username1@username1.com
server hostname = server01.server.com
account user = username1
account user domain = username1.com
