Hi, Whenever I create a new email user, telnet fails until an email is sent to that user to create his mbox. This is the error that it gives. Anyone know how to fix this? I could create the email account script to touch the users mbox, but I havn't needed to do this in the past with ipop3d and dovecot on a different server. [root at mail log]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user testact +OK pass +OK Logged in. -ERR Internal error occurred.
