Actually sometimes I get that error and other times I get: Unable to logon to the server using Secure Password Authentication.

RE: ERR Authorization failed w/qmail-pop (New)
I'd like to add a question on to James' problems. I'm doing the same thing, my setup is working, but if a user enters a bad password, he gets the message as shown below. Is there really a process crashing? And is it not cleaning up after itself? So this could end up causing problems later? Also, when someone doesn't log in correctly and I get that child crashed message, there is no mention of the connection in the logs, that is not good, someone could hit my server all day using brute force and I'd never know...

If you use your standard system password for pop access, and if you have shadow passwords on your system (check for /etc/shadow or the like), checkpassword is unable to read the encrypted password if it is not run as root (and in your setup, it isn't because it will be executed as uid 102/gid 504). You can either delete the entries in your inetd.conf (-u 102 -g 504) or make checkpassword setuid root. The first alternative means that qmail-smtpd will also run as root, in the second, only checkpassword will run as root. Decide which one to use depending on the grade of your security paranoia ;-) I had the same problem when I first set up a qmail server. Hoping to have helped, -- Juergen Kleer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
