The the /var/qmail/users/assign file has a corresponding
/var/qmail/users/cdb file. This cdb file is *not* rebuilt by the
qmailctl cdb command. It *is* rebuilt when you add or delete a domain.
There's also a way to rebuild this cdb file manually, but I don't recall
what that command is off hand. I believe you'd find it in the list
archives though.
I'd try rebuilding this cdb file (by adding/deleting a dummy domain if
not manually - be sure to use the cli commands in /home/vpopmail/bin/,
*not* vqadmin), and see if that doesn't fix things up.
I'd also check permissions, and be sure that mysqld is running and
accessible. I think the assign cdb file will likely fix things up for
you though.

Sorry if I was in any way unclear. I am specifying the domain along with
the username when connecting.
I was attempting to connect with my mail client, since the settings
should have been unchanged from before the old server failed. I have
since attempted to connect via telnet to port 110 in order to look for
additional clues. The message I get is:
telnet <ip> 110
Trying <ip>...
Connected to <server>.<domain> (<ip>).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <8539.1291574634@<server>.<ip>>
user <user>@<domain>
+OK
pass <password>
Error. Domain <domain> was not found in the assign file
+OK
However, this line /is/ present in my existing /var/qmail/users/assign
file:
+<domain>-:<domain>:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/<domain>:-::
and the directory structure in question is also in place. And, for the
record - since Jake's backup and restore scripts make specific mention
of this - the guid and uid for the vpopmail user is 89.
Any thoughts? I really need some help to get this up and running.

I’m not the expert here but if you are trying to login to squirrel
mail you have to use [email protected] to log on.
Hope this helps.
