my sample smpt/run file as follows .. still not authentiating...
#!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 8000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw 2>&1
I think here you miss vchkpw argument (/bin/true):
try:
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 8000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1
^^^^^^^^^check for the real path of true command (in *BSD system is usually /usr/bin/true).
Let me know if it works...
