Nah. You did it the right way. That's how I would have done it. I just moved everything to a new server and did it by exporting and importing the SQL data. I recall doing a mysql to PostgreSQL conversion once and just did an export and import. Is there anything in the log files? /var/log/mail/info or /var/log/mail/errors ... how about in /var/log/qmail/pop3d/current? If vuserinfo is working, then your database hooks in vpopmail are all ok. How about doing a make clean and make and make install again? Then restart qmail.
If you're using daemontools svc -du /service/qmail-pop3d How about if you telnet to the server on port 110 and try to auth by hand? You sure it's not a Thunderbird issue? If you're doing IMAP, then try recompiling the authdaemon. I believe it's a separate package now from Courier. I had some issues at one point and I ended up deleting everything in ~vpopmail/etc ~vpopmail/include ~vpopmail/bin and ~vpopmail/lib then rebuilt vpopmail and rebuilt authdaemon. Then it all worked.

Yes, the user does have permissions. How about running the commandline utilities? /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo <email addy> I was able to get userinfo on an email address.

Now, however, I need to switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL as the backend for the whole thing. The problem I am having is that when I recompile vpopmail to use PostgreSQL and then procede to check my email I get an error telling me that authorazation failed. As far as I can tell I have provided the correct username and database for vpopmail in the vpgsql.h file. And I have imported into postgres the database from mysql. The other odd thing is that vqadmin and qmailadmin still seem to be using the mysql database after recompiling vpopmail for use with postgres. I am using vpopmail v5.4.10, postgres v8.0.1, and Fedora Core 3. Any ideas on the subject would be helpful. I tried to google for this but nothing came up. Joshua Coucke
