I think the root of the problem here is that he's running qmail-pop3d and trying to use that for SMTP AUTH somehow. There's no reason to run POP3 on an SMTP only machine. Of course vchkpw will look for a user's Maildir if it's authenticating for POP3. Try using qmail-smtpd with a patch for SMTP AUTH. -- Casey Zacek Senior Engineer NeoSpire, Inc.
