Is it so that apple mail clients autoconfigure when the account is setup, but cannot reconfigure, or is it simply a human error? Perhaps that's the problem. If the POP server claims APOP authentication, then Apple Mail may try APOP first, have it fail, and then fall back on plain authentication. There's also an Advanced Tab in Mail where you can select the port, whether to use SSL, and what type of Authentication to use. It lists Password, Kerberos Version 4, Kerberized POP (KPOP), Kerberos Version 5 and MD5 Challenge-Response. From a quick web check, it looks like APOP uses MD5, so I'm assuming that the MD5 entry refers to APOP. Can you have this user check their settings to make sure they aren't using APOP? -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

Is this when picking up mail, or sending with > SMTP AUTH? I also get this error on POP authentication with my Apple Mail users, currently using 5.3.24 but has been consistent through versions over the last year. The mail comes in fine, and they get no error on their end, only in the logs. Errors just look like: Jul 17 16:44:01 papercutmedia vpopmail[15850]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:203.59.125.225 Using a heavily modified Redhat 7.3. Interestingly, I always get one of these the first time I POP into an account (any vpopmail account) using MS Entourage on OS X. But Entourage actually returns an auth error. Then I pop again and it's fine forever more (with no error in the logs) - could be separate issue but might be helpful!

[vchkpw] AppleMail "Password Fail" in syslog
Hi , I have several user on a small vpopmail domain, that seem to be able to send and get mail fine. However, AppleMail (OSX 10.2) seems to leave a "vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]" (Using password authentication on the Mac client end) Wondering if someone has thoughts on why I'm getting that fail, despite the user being able to send/retrieve? Thanks, Rick
