I belive I have it fixed.. firstly you have to be looking at the right log files.. /var/log/maillog damn I feel stupid. But I noticed there were some inconsistant looking permissions set in the /home/vpopmail dir so I changed them all to owner vpopmail and authentication seems to be working correctly now.. wierd :/ Thanks for the suggestions though! Everything always helps. Clint
