Am I out of luck? Using qmailadmin 1.0.6 I was out of luck too, but on command line I succeeded. What version ov vpopmail are you using? 5.3.11 over here on my workstation (installed only for testing, therefore updated irregular) worked. Maybe you just forgot to escape the ' or surround the whole email address with double quotes??? -- Pit

Re: [vchkpw] apostrophe in username?
Peter, thanks for the tip using quotes around the apostrophe when using vassuser. I was pulling out my hair trying every other kind of escape before the apostrophe. quotes around it works perfectly. i'd also like to know where in the rfc it forbids an apostrophe because i cannot find it.
