I have building a email server using qmail+vpopmail+courier-imap

After i set up the server
i have found that the tcpserver always shown as <defunct> even i reboot the system it still shown as <defunct>
I have try to telnet port 110 with my domain it is ok to connect it but port 25 cant since tcpserver is in zombie

I dont have any idea why the tcpserver always shown as <defunct>

What does /etc/init.d/svscan start says? Also, keep in mind, that 2 weeks ago courier-authlib dropped support for vpopmail, so u won't be able to authenticate your vpopmail users anymore. I moved on to Postfix-based setup and I recommend u do the same too. Take a look at this topic.

The hard part would be to add the domains and the users in the database. The rest is easy to do.

Google it. I've never done that. I had just setup my mail server with qmail + vpopmail and had only 2 e-mail accounts, when I had to move to Postfix, so it was an easy job :P
