I am using net-mail/vpopmail-5.4.6-r1 and i get this messages all the time in /var/log/messages imapd: tcprules: fatal: unable to create /etc/tcp.smtptmp.11893: access denied I have been searching in google and i have read that it's because a configure option about smtp after pop bad used here (http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg14805.html), in any case i dont want this feature, i have used "etcat -u vpopmail" and no one uses permits me disable it.
we use relay-ctrl instead of the vpopmail smtp-after-pop. The error shouldn't occur anymore.
