What do your log files say? Are your POP clients configured correctly? The
most common problem is forgetting the user%virtualdomain.com syntax for the
POP user name.

Not necessarily. This is an over-simplification, but in essence qmail will
only accept mail for domains listed in rcpthosts (whose destination address
is not in locals), or from IP's with a cleared RELAYCLIENT. You would have
to add:
:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
to have an open relay. Qmail is closed by default, unlike sendmail.

Subject: vchkpw password authentication problem
Hi,
I just recently installed vpopmail-4.9.10+qmail-1.03. I set up my local
information manually, and used vpopmail's webadmin to create a virutal
domain and pop users; however, when I try to pop mail from the virtual
users, I cannot -- i.e. the password is not accepted (for whatever reason).
Anyone have any ideas? My home directory for vpopmail is: /var/vpopmail
with the password file in: /var/vpopmail/domains/myvirtualwebsite.com
Thanks.
P.S. As a side note, I noticed that if I used:
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:deny
In my tcp.smtp file, I couldn't get mail from the outside in (I thought this
file was only supposed to affect mail from the inside out!). However, when
I changed it to:
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
It seemed to work find (although am I an open-relay now???)
Thanks again.
