What mail client are you using?  Have you tried several?


The problem is with sqwebmail, not a POP MUA.


I have noticed that OutlookExpress for Macintosh (all versions for the 
last
several years) will fail on pop several times (maybe 3 times, maybe 20
times) when a newly created pop account is used for the first time.  
By just
clicking Send and Receive quickly a dozen or so times it eventually 
works.
Once it works once it works forever.

I don't know what it is about OutlookExpress, how it can behave 
differently
for new accounts that have not previously been used.  Would be 
interested if
anyone else has solved this problem.  I am new to this list - maybe the
issue has been brought up before.

Sounds like you are using POP before SMTP (roaming users).  I believe 
Outlook tries to send before receiving (hence the "send/receive" button 
title).  If you haven't authenticated via pop, then you can't relay and 
outbound mail will get the "553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of 
allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)" error.  But the second attempt should 
succeed.

Two solutions:

1. See if you can configure Outlook to pop first
2. Use SMTP-AUTH rather than roaming users.  It's a better solution, 
and almost all modern MTAs support it now.  And vpopmail 5.3.8+ 
supports CRAM-MD5, so Eudora should work too.

You should probably check with the sqwebmail list if vchkpw is working 
normally.  But clearly sqwebmail is not setup correctly.  Try compiling 
--without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
