Hello,

Vpopmail, Qmail, Qmail Scanner.  Sorry for the cross-list-post, but I'm not
sure who to ask for this one, as I'm not sure which software isn't doing
what I want!
Hi,

You'll need to run qmail-smtpd as vpopmail.vchkpw or suid root so it can 
access the vpopmail files. His web page fully explains how to do it and 
why it has to be done.

Example

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 19000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -v -R \
    -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
    -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd-chkusr domain.com \
    /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true
Regards,

Rick
