I run Mail.app for some of my email, and have not seen these errors you're talking about. I'm connecting via Courier-IMAP's SSL service, and I see the following at login:
Mar 14 13:30:18 shiraz imapd-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:150.101.22.162]
Mar 14 13:30:18 shiraz imapd-ssl: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[::ffff:150.101.22.162]
so obviously no errors there.
What method of connecting are your Mail.app users using? Just plain old POP or what? Testing a plain POP login is also fine for me:
Mar 14 13:34:39 shiraz pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:150.101.22.162]
Mar 14 13:34:39 shiraz pop3d: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[::ffff:150.101.22.162]
Mar 14 13:34:39 shiraz pop3d: LOGOUT, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[::ffff:150.101.22.162], top=0, retr=0
I'm running the latest versions of OS X and Mail.app, they are Mac OS X v10.2.4 and Mail 1.2.3 (v551)
Cheers

Hello,
Each time a user checks his account using the MacOSX Mail.app MUA, I get an error in my maillog.
Mar 14 01:27:01 ns3167 vpopmail[9164]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:81.56.96.75
Mar 14 01:27:01 ns3167 vpopmail[9165]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:81.56.96.75

Mar 14 01:27:43 ns3167 vpopmail[9176]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:81.56.96.75
Observations :
- The users can perfectly well receive their email, the MUA doesn't complain (no errors on the user-side).
- This only happens with the Mail.app MUA. I have cross checked this with other MUAs on other domains (same server).
- I'm running vpopmail 5.2.1 on a RH 7.2 box.
I have no idea if the problem is with vpopmail or with Apple's Mail.app. Any suggestions are welcome.
