[vchkpw] Vchkpw authorization problem
Used the qinstall package to install qmail/vpopmail and it appears things are working. Upon trying to login via telnet/mail client password authorization is failing and from telnet I get the following: = Connected to mydomain.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] mydomain user name@ mydomain.com +OK pass my_correct_pw -ERR aack, child crashed Connection closed by foreign host. = /var/log/maillog says: Nov 9 15:43:32 domain vpopmail[19280]: vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ip I have already tried recreating/rebulding the tcp.smtp databases etc...

It's very easy to install. and it appears things are working. You just contradicted yourself. You say things are working yet two lines below it's not working.

Try the latest version. If I were you, I would remove everything you've installed, follow www.lifewithqmail.org, and then following the INSTALL file of vpopmail. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

Re: [vchkpw] Vchkpw authorization problem
So authorization fails with (aack, child crashed) from telnet/mail client but when I login locally from the same machine it works fine (see below). Does this mean there is something up with tcpserver?? Please advise.
