Since the authentication failure doesn't trigger the syslog message, QPOP isn't calling vchkpw. > > Why aren't you using qmail-pop3d? > > Wasn't aware that I should be. You should :-) Perhaps the README should be clearer about this. Disable QPOP and run qmail-pop3d, here's a qmail-pop3d startup script from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/FAQ : env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" \ tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup your.host.here \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & > > Why is your gid so high? > > Because of all of the system users currently having their own > group entries, > which is one of the reasons I am trying to get vpopmail to work. Ah, it just struck me as a bit odd that the gid was so close to nobody's.
