WOOHOO found the issue. On FreeBSD if you are going to do a custom compile, make sure you add '--prefix=/usr/local i386-portbld-freebsd5.1' to your ./configure command. (this is not documented and I only knew by looking at the ports version closely)
Using the following command worked! ./configure --enable-valias=y --enable-mysql-logging=y --enable-auth-logging=y --enable-default-domain=bwlogic.com --enable-domain-quotas=y --enable-mysql=y --enable-many-domains=y --enable-vpopgroup=vchkpw --enable-log-name=vpopmail--enable-domains-dir=domains [EMAIL PROTECTED] --enable-qmaildir=/var/qmail --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules --enable-tcpserver-file=/usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-defaultquota=52428800 --enable-logging=p --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=30 --enable-clear-passwd=y --prefix=/usr/local i386-portbld-freebsd5.1 As you can see I am using MySQL and the default ports distribution uses cdb, this is why doing a build straight from the ports tree fixed my clearopensmtp error message, however I lost all my user accounts as these are in MySQL. Using the ports version with the above configure command fixed all my issues. Thanks all for your input, it help a ton :D Jay -----Original Message----- From: Michael Bowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 3:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Interesting clearopensmtp and tcpserver issue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Lavigne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 2:35 AM Subject: [vchkpw] Interesting clearopensmtp and tcpserver issue > Hello all, > > I have gone through the archives and have gone through all the posts > that looked like my error, however I am still stuck and I have not seen > any changes at all.

Just linking the files to the vpopmail/etc dir isnt sufficient, as vpopmail needs to create temp files etc, and in your case these will be created in /etc which I guess will fail. Michael.
