It works as root and as vpopmail:
snafu4:/home/vpopmail/bin # whoami
root
snafu4:/home/vpopmail/bin # ./vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] neupasswort
snafu4:/home/vpopmail/bin # netcat localhost 110
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user pitt%my-snafu.de
+OK
pass neupasswort
+OK
quit
+OK
snafu4:/home/vpopmail/bin # su vpopmail
snafu4:~/bin # whoami
vpopmail
snafu4:~/bin # ./vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] nochneuerespasswort
snafu4:~/bin # netcat localhost 110
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user pitt%my-snafu.de
+OK
pass nochneuerespasswort
+OK
quit
+OK
snafu4:~/bin #
