While I wasn't using the checkpassword setup for MySQL (I'm using the 4.10.x
series of vpopmail), I had a similar experiance. Make sure that the
checkpassword program that you are using is written so it's using exit(1)
not exit(0) for everything except a successfull authentication. Once I made
those changes to vchkpw, it worked like a champ.
