I found a workaround for this. I disable the MD5 password encryption at
vpopmail (configure --enable-md5-password=n), thus it uses linux crypt
encryption which is recodnized by squid.

Subject: Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail MD5 vs squid MD5
I have the same problem with vpopmail encrypted passwords.
Vpopmail works fine... But passwords generated by vpopmail are not
recognized by any other tool.
I'm checking the code, but if someone has an idea of what's happening...
(vpopmail 5.4.0.rc1)
Thanks.
