The standard checkpassword works only with system users. If you want to use an
external user database, you'll need a modified checkpassword.
I have two versions which are patches against checkpassword-0.81. They're at:
http://www.palomine.net/qmail/checkpassword-0.81.patch
http://www.palomine.net/qmail/checkcdb.tar.gz
I recommend the latter since it stores the external user database in a cdb
file, so lookups are much faster and it can be scaled to a much larger number
of users.
