You should start smtp with the folowing command line : 

qmail-smtpd mail.example.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true
Read the smtp-auth docs. 
Hi Paul
Thanks for your help. Which documentation are you referring to?
The information you gave me does not appear to be correct, as a 
different error started when doing it the way you describe. It now 
works, when starting qmail-smtpd like so:
qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true

Thanks anyway - it's working now
