the problem is with netscape and eudora.
You can see from the logs that the domain was being stripped, because those
email clients assume you are stupid and strip off the @domain.
lucky for you that vchkpw supports user%domain and user_domain as well.
Tell your client to switch to one of those.

Yes I asked him over and over again and even changed the password.
He testet both Eudora pro and Netscape on two different computers while I
was
talking with him on the phone .. I even tailed the maillog to see what was
going on.
I saw the login failure and it was no passwd error .. it seemed like
tcpserver removed
the domain from the recipient before passing it over to smtpd.
Heres a paste:
Jan 6 09:57:43 pop vchkpw[2398]: Failed login attempt with unknown
'tordis@'
Jan 6 09:57:43 pop vchkpw[2398]: pop: Failed to find user in vpasswd
Then I give it a try:
Jan 6 10:19:02 pop vchkpw[310]: (virtual, USER/PASS) Login from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know he hadn't set it up wrong because he has several other accounts on
another
domain hosted on the same server and those worked allright for him, and I
also
went trough the setup with him several times.
And then, while I had him on the phone I put his ip into the tcp.smtp and
took a rebuild,
and voila ...
Jan 6 10:38:01 pop vchkpw[774]: (virtual, USER/PASS) Login from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
So what went on here ?
