[vchkpw] [SPAM] Cannot Authenticate When popping mail

2012-04-21 Thread Rick Phillips
I have searched my problem extensively on the web and even in the
archives on this list without success.  I say without success because
there were many similar problems with different configurations going
back to about 2003 but in many cases, the question I am about to ask 
was ignored on the lists.

I have installed netqmail + vpopmail + ezmlm dozens of times without any
problems following Life With Qmail explicitly and the instruction with
vpopmail.  I have had 3 failed attempts using 64bit CentOS 6.0, 6.1 and
now 6.2.  Everything functions - qmailadmin works and authenticates,
mail is received on the server and mail can be sent BUT popping the mail
 from the server fails with the error Unable to connect to server 
'servername' Cannot send password.

My mailer configuration is exactly the same as I use on working setups.
I have wasted days on a solution - even trying older and the development
versions of vpopmail.  The version I am currently using is 5.4.33.

The following is my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run script.

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 1000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
FQDN_disguised /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d 
Maildir 21

vchkpw indeed resides where it should be as outlined above.  The mail arrives 
in a Maildir folder exactly as it should.  There are several domains, each 
being set up from scratch using vadddomain and then users were added with 
qmailadmin which functions normally.

My bad experiences have only been with CentOS 6.X and I manage several other 
servers running CentOS 5.X without any issues both in 64 and 32 bit.  I am at 
my wits end and can only assume a problem with the latest CentOS and there for 
perhaps with similar versions of RHEL.

I hope someone has some ideas.

With thanks in advance,

Rick

Have you tried increasing the softlimit value? I would try adding 
another zero. If it works, you can reduce the number gradually until it 
breaks again.

Eric,

 breaks again.
 
You are a genius!  To think of all of the time I have wasted on this and
it was as simple as that.  Finding it hard to understand though why the
softlimit would differ on two different systems running the same OS but
different versions.

Er, why is our mail being marked as spam?

Regards,

Rick
