Thanks for the tips, Eric, however, I had a working implementation before this using precisely the methods you outline below. I can also use the new MySQL method for creating new users/domains and vpopmail updates the db fine, so it's not a permissions issue. When I use vpopmail to create or view info about users/domains from the command line, I have no problem whatever. As I mentioned, there is also no problem accessing these new users/domains (that exist in MySQL) using POP, but I can't authenticate using Qmailadmin or IMAP.
