I figured it out.
The clock on the nfs server which hosted /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/ was 30 minutes behind the webserver which ran the sqwebmail cgi binary... this resulted in an immediate logout/timeout upon a successful login.
Once i synchronized the clocks the error disappeared!
That was a tricky one - only took 7 hours for me to figure out what it was!!

Hi,
Not sure if this would work for you. Long back when i used
courier+sqwebmail i landed myself in a situation where it always
resulted in invalid username/password issue all of a sudden. See if it
has anything to do with setuid bit of the sqwebmail binary. I could be
way off target but just sharing my experience.
Cheers
Anup
