We use the patch with mysql and it works fine. Make sure that you have vpopmail compiled with mysql-auth support. chkuser is a patch to qmail so that it rejects the smtp connection if the email address does not have a valid user name.

Hi all, I've just upgraded (again) my qmail installation, in an attempt to cut out spam trying random email addresses to my domains, using chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch. I've followed the whole instalation procedure, compiled successfully qmail with the patches. The problem I found is, when using inside .qmail-default, maildrop, the mails are delivered but is not triggered the chkuser patch. And if I use inside .qmail-default, vdelivermail, all mails are rejected, with "550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkusr)" . Now, looking at mysql access logs, vdelivermail is not looking at mysql to see whether the user exists or not, therefore all emails (included the ones to valid users) are rejected.
Has anyone tried this patch and had similar problem?
Thanks for your help.
