So I added it to the qmail-smtp   run file as such:

    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd [HOSTNAME] \
    /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1

[HOSTNAME]  is hte actual name of the host its running
on.

Why?  in the later version does it NOT need to be
here?

It was needed for a much older version. If you have the hostname in 
there now you are an open relay.
