in is in locals, it should be in [more]rcpthosts, too.
Otherwise your qmail configuration is broken.
If the domain is in [more]rcpthosts, vadddomain will not add it because
it already exists.
Conclusion: vadddomain will not delete the domain from locals to put it
into virtualdomains. Instead it will refuse to add the domain.

of vpopmail that applies both to the number of domains and to the number

lead to any actual problems.

For now, give each domain a different system user (vadddomain -u ...),

The first message is generated by UID 500, which is propably the

probably the qmail-queue user. Check your /etc/passwd to be sure.

Are there any reasons against the setup of ~vpopmail1 and ~vpopmail2

powerful solutions by combining these tools. Don't expect us do put

programmer to develop a patch for you.
Please stop this thread now; it's all said.
Jonas
a look at that part if we I or some other list members have

The "default" setting is still ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp, but it's obvious
that vpopmail cannot use that file if it doesn't exist (yet) - which is
the reason it chose the second location (/etc/) as the alternative.
Jonas
se a dedicated
MySQL user instead of "root"; this would highly reduce the danger that a
possibly table-corrupting vpopmail bug would have on MySQL data. Yes,
it's the user's choice, and MySQL administrators should already know
that, but IMHO the README.mysql file should set a good example here.
Jonas
hen mysql support is enabled in vpopmail.
The INSTALL file is right. Don't blame it just because your setup didn't
work. You simply didn't care about the permissions on tcp.smtp.cdb -
it's obvious that vpopmail can't write to that file if it's only
writable by root while you don't have vchkpw running as root.
Jonas
. In many cases, this is
vpopmail.vchkpw, but it might be another user if you created domains
with the "-u " argument.
Try "chown vpopmail.vchkpw /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb" first and see if it works.
