the vpopmail library restricts access to the authentication
information unless running as root or the owner of the
virtual domain.
You need to either run the smtp server as root or
if all your domains are owned by vpopmail,then run
it as the vpopmail/vchkpw uid/gid
You might also want to update to 4.10.35 or 4.10.34
