> Subject: [vchkpw] qmail-smtpd-chkusr Patch Problem
>
> I have patched my qmail to use the qmail-smtpd-chkusr functionality (on rcpt
> to: check to see if a user exists on the mail server and if the user doesn't
> send a 550).
>
> I have tested the functionality of qmail-smtpd (compiled with this patch and
> a couple others) and it works when I run it from the command line.
>
> My problem is when I run it from the tcpserver/supervise script the
> functionality doesn't work.
>
> I have managed to get it working by altering the -u and -g on the tcpserver
> command line to be root. When I do that it works flawlessly. It also works
> if I set the uid to root and set the gid to qmaild.
>
> My question (and I suppose directed at tonix):
>
> How can I get this to run with the proper user and group permissions of
> qmaild?
>
> Here are some of the details of my installation.
