Ok i was trying some things and now i really don't understand what's the
problem here:
I took a random domain and reset the password with
./vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] test123
The pw_passwd and the pw_clear_passwd fields in the database get updated
normally and vuserinfo gives the correct info.
Yet still not able to authenticate via qmailadmin or via pop3
next i created a new domain vadddomain test.com test123
database fields are filled and vuserinfo reflects this, now i try to
authenticate and it works!
But it still won't authenticate the other domains :-(
How is this possible as the data layout is exactly the same for both
users/domains in the database, even the encrypted password fields are the
same..
Please tell me where the hidden setting is,
Mark.
