Were you running an old version of vpopmail when you built sqwebmail 2.1.1
originally?  Or not at all.  If you didn't have vpopmail installed at all
when you compiled sqwebmail 2.1.1 it doesn't have the necessary
authentication modules installed for vpopmail authentication, so yes, you'll
have to recompile.

Also no, you don't need a pop daemon running to make vpopmail work.  That's
only needed if you want people to be able to use pop3 to gather email on the
virtual domains you setup under vpopmail.

Subject: Recompile Sqwebmail?


I recently installed vpopmail-4.9.10. It went without problems; I was able
to add a virtual domain, and a user to that domain, and had the mail
delivered to ~vpopmail/domains/domainname/user/Maildir/new as expected.
However, when I attempted to use MS IE 5.5 to log into that account, using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the password I'd specified with vadduser, I was told
this was an invalid password.

I'm assuming, at this point, that's because I need to recompile Sqwebmail.
Basically, I've been running Sqwebmail 2.1.1 for one domain, and I installed
vpopmail when I wanted to have Sqwebmail work for multiple domains.
Sqwebmail still works great for my first domain, it just doesn't work for
the new ones. Thus, I figure I have to recompile Sqwebmail with vpopmail
support.

On another note, do I need a pop3 daemon of some sort running for vpopmail
to work? Might that be the cause of my problem?

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
