Have you checked the ownership, group and permisssions of the files in the domain's directory (/home/vpopmail/domain/problemchild.com). The domain's .qmail-default file could also being missing or corrupted and so can the individual user's .qmail file.

I DO have a bad habit of reading the documentation -- I use the vqadmin program solely for retrieving passwords when idiot users "forget" them -- usually the day after they have reset them for some odd reason. In my environment, clients purchase a server and maintenance from me. They are then able to host their own services (web, file, email, etc) on their own server in a kind of "black box" configuration -- I do all the maintenance, security audits, etc. for them for a monthly fee. Mail accounts (or more correctly, mailboxes) USED to be tied to User accounts -- until I switched to the toaster. A HUGE benefit, if you ask me! However, users cannot host additional domains without calling support (we haven't automated that task yet.) They can edit webpages, and completely manage their email domain (thanks to qmailadmin), but I don't even give them access to toaster-admin, much less vqadmin. When a client asks for a new domain to be hosted on their system, they submit a request via email. At that time, we add the domain to their DNS, create a space for the web pages to be hosted, create an admin account group for the new domain (who are able to edit the web pages), and lastly create the email domain (vadddomain). I actually then add a couple of items: 1) I set the postmaster account to point to MY postmaster account -- I read the postmaster mail for all domains I administer, whether on my own server or a client's 2) I create an admin user mailbox (usually the owner of the company) and set the password to something we've agreed upon earlier 3) I create webmaster and abuse aliases for my own webmaster and abuse email mailboxes (on my own domain) -- same reason as for postmaster 4) I email the client a PDF document that tells them how to log into qmailadmin on their new webpage, how to use THEIR account (not postmaster) and a brief primer on how to create each type of account (mailbox, alias, responder, and list). They can always call for additional support -- but the issues that new users bring up are usually added to our PDF document so we don't have to answer it again! Which brings me back to my current issue... this client is STILL without email this evening, and I'm looking like an idiot because I've checked everything I know how to check... Are there NO CLI diagnostics that can try to find out why (or just as importantly) WHERE qmail-smtp is failing to find the account??? regards...
