> How do I know if I have a poppassd server installed?

Telnet to port 106 of the server.  If you don't connect, there is no
server.  If you do connect, it should look something (more or less)
like:

% telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd v1.4 hello, who are you?

(Here I use localhost as the host, you may need to use a different
hostname).

We can't really help without knowing the error.  You can contact my
directly when you know the error message and I can try to help.

The only real important config file settings are the host and port.
The port defaults to the normal port, so I guess it is just the host
to worry about.  The host defaults to localhost, which may not be
appropriate depending on your setup.
