Hi dan, Regarding sending mail , have u created a tcp.smtpd.cdb file . I know there are no instructions regarding this in the vpopmail doc so this is what u need to do ..assuming the tcp.smtpd file exists in /home/vpopmail/etc
tcprules /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.tmp < /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd the tcp.smtpd file must contain ur whitelist entries including 127.0.0.1 and ur local ip address. verify that the newly created file is readable by qmail Your second problem seems to be a permission problem. Verify that all ur domain directories and files under vpopmail are owned by vpopmail:vchkpw .
