it seems to change every week.

not


version 0.31 of that patch required the hostname argument.  earlier
versions didn't, great for consistency!

From UPGRADE :

"IF USING SMTP AUTH PATCH TO QMAIL-SMTPD

  * This release of vpopmail includes fixes for vchkpw that may break
    certain SMTP AUTH implementations.  If SMTP AUTH fails after
    installing vpopmail 5.4.x, you may need to use the
    qmail-smtpd-auth-0.4.2 patch included in the contrib directory.

  * If you do switch to the 0.4.2 SMTP AUTH patch, you may need to update
    your qmail-smtpd run file (the first parameter to qmail-smtpd should
    now be the path to vchkpw and not the hostname)."

Seems clear to me
