Basicly qmailadmin needs to be able to create files with the right ownership. If all the domains are owned by vpopmail:vchkpw then qmailadmin must either run as that user or be able to switch the effective uid/gid (uses seteuid() and setegid()). My guess is your setup won't work. You can easily check by adding email accounts and forwards. If they work and the permissions on the files are right, you are set. Ken Jones
