Current situation (I'm using vmailmgr, but it should be the same with checkpasswd): andromeda:~ > telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user neotest:testserver.ch +OK pass neo +OK quit +OK Connection closed by foreign host. -> login = neotest:testserver.ch -> passw = neo Now, how could I check if the password is correct, only using checkvpw or checkpassword, and not via pop3 ? I tried a few other solutions suggested by messages on the ML, and on www.qmail.org but I didn't get it work : andromeda:~ > TCPREMOTEHOST="aaa" andromeda:~ > export TCPREMOTEHOST andromeda:~ > echo -e "neotest\000neo\000" > tm6 andromeda:~ > echo -e "neotest\000nedo\000" > tm7 andromeda:~ > checkvpw 3< tm6 && /bin/ls andromeda:~ > checkvpw 3< tm7 && /bin/ls andromeda:~ > echo -e "neotest:testserver.ch\000neo\000" > tm6 andromeda:~ > echo -e "neotest:testserver.ch\000ne3o\000" > tm7 andromeda:~ > checkvpw 3< tm6 && /bin/ls andromeda:~ > checkvpw 3< tm7 && /bin/ls -> nothing happens, event if the password is correct. Once this issue is solved, there will be a webmail solution for vmailmgr... :) Thanks for any hint!, Olivier
