Hi;

Just dawned on me that this is probably the issues that Ken Jones has sent
a temporary fix.  I guess the real problem here is in the vpopmail
software.  I followed these instructions and it fixed the issue.  Sam, is
it possible to get this info put on the sqwebmail homepage as well perhaps
as a link to the mailing list archive?  

Cheers,

Tren.

Notice to folks trying to get vpopmail with the mysql module
working with sqwebmail.

If you can't get sqwebmail to authenticate with valid
vpopmail user/passwords, then read on:

There is an error in the vpopmail code and how it interacts
with sqwebmail. The result is that when a valid user logs
into sqwebmail they will be denied with "invalid user id or password"
message.

I don't have a fix released yet for vpopmail code. Mr Sam sent
me the changes needed, but they aren't tested.

In the mean time there is a simple fix.

In the sqwebmail source code, edit the authlib/preauthvchkpw.c
file and remove the vclose(); call. There is only one
call to vclose. 

Then recompile, reinstall and it should work.

Sorry for the problems

Ken Jones
