When you try to "log in manually" you don't actually log in somewhere you only test the password checker. The error message is quite clear, albeit I must confess: not it's origin. Are you, by any chance, running the qmail-smtpd process under control of "softlimit" or do you have "ulimit"s applied??? Something 's limiting the memory available to smtpd-process, and of course this limitation is applied to the sub process "vchkpw" too. vchpw tries to connect to the database and execute a query. This query fails. 'sql error[3]' can be cound in 'vmysql.c' in vpopmai sources and it's "thrown" when the query failed. so make sure there's not only enough free memory available, but also 'tcpserver', 'qmail-smtpd' and 'vchkpw' have access to it. If in doubt post your _complete_ qmail-smtpd startup script and the output of 'ulimit -a' -- Peter
