The most common problem is that the line you're using to start up the
POP3 daemon doesn't have the correct path to the password checking program.
For example, with:
env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" tcpserver 0 pop-3
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup codon.com /virtuals/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
the "/virtuals/bin/vchkpw" is the program used by the daemon to check the
user's password. Check and make sure that your startup line points to a
program that actually exists. : )
