remember, whichever password checker you use has to be passed the folder for
qmail-pop3d to look in. so, if you are using djb's checkpassword program, it
will not be able to auth the virtual users. I have very little experience with
vmailmgr, but if there is a pop password checker in that package, make sure
that you use that. otherwise, code one out similar to vpopmail that will pass
the correct directory and uid/gid numbers. qmail-pop3d will try to look in
whatever folder it is told as the user it is told by the password checker, so
you may want to verify your permissions.
