You've said nothing about what authentication module you're using, but let
me guess: it's vchkpw (vpopmail), and it's version 5.2.1 or earlier,
correct?

If so, this is a vpopmail bug, which results in intermittent login failures.
Upgrade to vpopmail 5.2.2 or later, and then recompile sqwebmail to make it
link against the new libvpopmail.

sqwebmail sends out mail using the 'sendit.sh' shell script. You can
customise this in any way you like to submit mails to your MTA in whatever
way you like.

Right now, I'd guess that qmail and your (unnamed) virus scanner are set up
in such a way so that mails submitted over SMTP are scanned, but mails
submitted locally are not.

So you need to work out what command-line command to give to submit a mail
locally and have it scanned (which is off-topic for this list), and then
update sendit.sh to use that command.

Brian.
