The only difference is the colon after the mail from command. No colon
and qmail-smtpd responds, a colon and it does not, ever. I narrowed it
down to stock qmail works, and qmail + chkuser does not. It seems to
make no difference which vpopmail I use. This is very odd to me
because this configuration has passed millions of messages in the past
two years. I see no reason why it should fail to respond to an
incoming connection incorrectly now.
Just as an FYI, RFC821 says you need angle brackets around the email
address (and no space after the colon).
Regardless, qmail-smtpd should come back. I just tried your test on my
system (Shupp Toaster) and it came back fine.
Yea, I normally use the full correct syntax, but I know my server do not
require it so I generally type by habit, right or wrong. I did try a
correct syntax and the results got even odder.

Now only "mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED]" works. Noting else does.
I am completely perplexed. I have made one more change, I scp'd over my
sources for vpopmail from a working server and recompiled and
reinstalled onto the failing server and the problem persisted.
I will try doing the same with qmail and chckuser next. Need to get some
things done first. It is looking like the only difference will be
FreeBSD versions.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
