Sorry if I'm still confused...on the old server, I actually had simlinks
the other way around.  In ~vpopmail/etc/ I had simlinks to /etc/tcp.smtp
and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb and it worked.  It doesn't on the new install.

I tried reversing it the way you recommended, but it still doesn't work.
(chowned vpopmail all the files, although open_smtp always gets created as
root owned).

I assume that somehow tcpserver either sees the open_smtp file when you do
this, of its contents get somehow included in the tcp.smtp file, but I'm
not seeing it...how does tcpserver know about the contents of the
open_smtp file?

Thanks again...
