Hi all,

I've been running vpopmail from the very start, to full satisfaction. A few
days ago I decided to upgrade my somewhat outdated vpopmail-3.4.11e to the
latest 4.8.7. But now every authentication (wrong and correct) fails with
an -ERR Aack child crashed. I've tried several accounts that worked
perfectly before, and passwords are not too long (saw ChangeLog for 4.8.9).
Adding -H, -R, -u or -g options to tcpserver startup line, as well as
--enable-tcpserver-file=tcp.smtp, have no effect. While experimenting it
also doesn't seem to matter if you add tcp.smtp or tcp.smtp.cdb to the
"enable-tcpserver-file" option. Everything is tested on Slackware 7.1, but
the same problems occured on some test boxes running Slack 4.0 and 7.0.
TCPServer is up-to-date 0.88.

Can someone help me fix this problem (maybe with some strace output?). I
think it's somewhere in the way vpopmail handles its connection with
tcpserver and tcp.smtp.

Best regards,


Victor
