Quoted from vpopmail's FAQ: "vpopmail is a collection of programs to automate creation and maintence of non /etc/passwd virutal domain email and pop accounts for qmail installations." You still have to use Courier-IMAP/BINC for IMAP, and/or qmail-pop3d for POP3 and so on. Regards, Andryan

Sqwebmail and Courier (both using the Courier Authentication Lib now) do the authentication via libvpopmail.a not vchkpw. This is the reason you have to recompile them if you update vpopmail. I once used a patched vpopmail version by Vladimir Kabanov that enabled me to have Courier IMAP auth against vchkpw. I would prefer if Courier and Sqwebmail would support this. > Is it possible that it is using the same information store of usernames > and passwords as vchkpw but not actually calling vchkpw?
