Where is this "maildrop" configured, and how do I locate the error?

Cyrus is logging everything to local6 syslog facility. You could
reconfigure your syslogd: "local6.*  /var/log/imapd.log". While keeping
on eye on /var/log/imapd.log, you should have a look at /var/log/mail as
well.
AFAIK, maildrop belongs to postfix not to cyrus ?!
If this is the case you can't configure maildrop directly but you could
start postfix.   ;-)
I you want more help please post a "egrep '(panic|error|failure)'
/var/log/mail" first.

Marek
   



Well, postfix IS running.. And it really isn't involved in a telnet to port
110, is it?  It should only be cyrus if I understand correctly?
Anyway, the only thing in the mail.log is; 

Feb 16 22:27:35 hulda postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system
Feb 16 22:27:35 hulda postfix/master[1148]: daemon started -- version 2.0.18
No errors, nothing.

Anders.
 

Rob is right (as usual  ;).
You probably created a mailbox named "username" instead of 
"user.username" which is the correct cyrus syntax.
I created such a mailbox and I got the same error message.

Unfortunately, there is no log message at all ?! No hint, no warning, 
nothing ...  May be I have an too old version ??
I just added syslog() entries for any failures to open the maildrop in 
pop3d.c (CVS).

Question: What is the task of maildrop then ?
The POP maildrop is analogous to the IMAP Inbox.
