From which source exactly? What's the complete download URL you used
to get this patch?

You should know which parameters your used to compile vpopmail. You
should have seen a summary of used parameters when you
'./configure'-ed vpopmail.

What's the output of

strings /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb

??? Is your clients IP enumerated there?

Correct. *You* use 'vchkpw' as password checking tool, because you
want to check against vpopmail handled user pool. Forget about the
other tools, unless you want to authenticate against a different data
base than vpopmails.
