I've checked : /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 4237) 2723 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 1051) 15160 seconds /service/qmail-pop3ds: up (pid 4242) 2723 seconds /service/qmail-pop3ds/log: up (pid 1048) 15160 seconds to see if they're stopping/restarting constantly. They were not. Then tried connecting with both pop3 and IMAP, to see if it was vchkpw, that was the problem. both use it: pop3: snip---- telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass xxxxxxx -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. ----snip imap: snip----- telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. a001 login [EMAIL PROTECTED] xxxxxxx a001 OK LOGIN Ok. a001 logout * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down a001 OK LOGOUT completed Connection closed by foreign host. ----snip Then I tried a diff on the qmail-popup to see if the file there was damaged, but they match with original file. Then I tried to see if my pop3d logfile was producing anything funny, but everything seems fine. And checking the procedures in the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H -v \ -u"$VPOPMAILUID" -g"$VPOPMAILGID" 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup fizban.netformidling.dk \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 shows that it looks like it should. Therefore, I'm a bit clueless right now. If it is permissions on the qmail-popup, vchkpw, then here : -rwx--x--x 1 root qmail 12480 Apr 3 11:11 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup -rw---x--x 1 vpopmail vchkpw 45264 Apr 3 11:19 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw I've also done a : chown -R /home/vpopmail/domains as suggested on google, whebn i searched for answers I hope I included enough info.
