However, AppleMail (OSX 10.2) seems to leave a "vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Wondering if someone has thoughts on why I'm getting that fail, despite the user being able to send/retrieve?
I use Apple Mail without any problem...
What version of vpopmail are you using, and where do you see the "password fail" error? Is this when picking up mail, or sending with SMTP AUTH?
vpopmail v 5.2.1
qmail 1.0.3
smtp-auth 0.31
User gets double password prompt upon sending with SMTPAUTH, it looks like errors in my syslog appear during pickup...
"Fail" shows in /var/log/syslog like this: It appears, in the log (from the timing), that his check mail runs every 5 minutes.

When user 'sends' mail, he gets an additional popup that says that his password wasn't recognized. When he enters correct password, mail is sent.
Sqwebmail runs fine.
I have other Apple User who runs GyazMail & Eudora with no problems. This second Apple user also gets double password prompts, AND "Fails" that show up in my logs.
