How are you starting qmail-pop3d. It sounds like you have a file permission issue, or more likely you script doesn't tell qmail-pop3d what to use to authenticate users against An example for tcpserver is tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 \ qmail-popup sysadmin-inc.com \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Maildir &
notice /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw is a actual file P.S. I am writting this email away from my servers and thought it was qmail-popup not qmail-pop3d, the script may call for qmail-popup instead of qmail-pop3d > I've just finished the instructions for setting up vpopmail, mysql, > autorespond, ezmlm and qmailadmin.
