[vchkpw] Re: domain problem

[jake]

That did it! Thanks again for the assistance.  Sqwebmail was broken after 
that so I did the same thing to it and now it works great.  I still see one 
problem, when I do 'qmailctl stat' it show pop3d up for 0 or 1 second.  I 
can't see any log entries that would point to why.  The qmail handbook 
suggests there could be problems with a run script, but I haven't touched 
any and it was working.  I checked to make sure nothing else is running on 
port 110.  Could something I did with all this vpopmail stuff have done 
something? 

My /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run file: 

#!/bin/sh

Typically when people recompile vpopmail they do it by running a make clean
or make distclean in the source directory and reconfiguring it.  I've found
this to be just a tad unreliable and I usually erase the source dir, and
untar a "fresh" batch of source to make my new build.  This usually resolves
oddities like you described below.  Also, after a make install-strip
vpopmail will attempt to chown everything with the vpopmail:vchkpw user and
group.  Sometimes to verify (usually for my own sanity more than anything
else) before I run the make install-strip I'll move the ~vpopmail/bin to
~vpopmail/bin.old that way I know that when it installs it won't fail at
attempting to overwrite a file that's currently in use.  I also, before the
make install-strip, stop any pop3 or smtp services that might be using
vpopmail for the same reason.  Give that a shot.
