You should always copy and paste the exact data.

"vpopmail user not found" is different than "vpopmail: user not found"

It would speed up getting a meaningful/helpful reply if you provided relevant (and accurate) info, like snippets from logs, your 'configure' arguments, etc.

OK.  Never thought to look in log/maillog.  It's informative here: vpopmail 
user not found ...

Bob suggested a permission problem with apache.  I'll try setting up suid and 
getting back.

I think we're on the right track.

If you have the compile directory from the old setup, I would look at
'config.log' for the configure script arguments.

Maybe you can post your configure command for the current qmailadmin
install.  Vpopmail should also have its own logfile.  It's usually very
informative.  Anything in /var/log/maillog ?

Thanks for getting back to me, Derek.

It's a .gz install.  I'm using daemontools and checked all the qmail logs.  I'm 
not getting any logs from pop3d.  I'll have to look into that.

How did you install, from source or RPMs?  IIRC when I last dealt with
qmailadmin/vpopmail, qmailadmin had to be told about vpopmail with a
flag.  As for logging in, you should be able to log in as any user that
vpopmail is aware of.

Also, check your logs.  Location depends on how you're running qmail
(daemontools, etc).

Hi all,

After more than 10 years my qmail, vpopmail, and qmailadmin setup
died catastrophicly.  qmailadmin was the core part of administering
everything.

I now have a new install of that setup. Mail delivery works and I can
retrieve email from the postmaster and user accounts.

However, loggin into qmailadmin's postmaster account using
     postmaster
     my.domain
     password
results in "Invalid Login". I also tried "postmaster@my.domain" but
that doesn't work either.

I reinstalled both vpopmail and qmailadmin but that didn't fix the
problem.  Also tried both 1.2.15 and 1.2.16.

I checked the mail archives and even poked around in qmailadmin.c but
am pretty lost when it comes to c programming.

The o/s is fedora 20.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, especially tips on
how to debug this situation (didn't have much luck trying various
printf instructions in the source).

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Mike Wright
