Hi, I was able to resolve this without the assistance of the list and am embarrassed to admit that somehow, despite setting many compile-type configuration options with vpopmail, I missed the "--enable-passwd=y" directive to the configure script. I'm a tad embarrassed, but perhaps having this in the archives will help someone else resolve their issues. (Ironically, I managed to migrate all my system accounts over to vpopmail before figuring out what the problem was.) Many thanks! Cheers, Paul Robinson gotclue.net
