I sent this to the vpopmail list, but haven't seen any traffic on that list
yet. So, I thought I'd send it here just in case someone on this list has
it working.
I hope it isn't too off topic for you consideration.
Thanks
Dave

Subject: IP based authentication
Hi, I have just subscribed to the list and I have a problem.
I can't get the IP based authentication in vpopmail to work. I have read
question 9 in the FAQ and I have forward and reverse setup correctly. Is
there a way to get more information out of vchkpw than what is sent to the
log? I compiled with --enable-ip-alias-domains=y in configure. Is there
anything else I should check? Authentication works with user%domain, but
not without. Here is some of what I'm seeing:
* here's forward lookup
