The instructions you followed above are for the fqdn of the system only. Anything you have configured to use vpopmail needs to have the .qmail-files created in the /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.name folder. Do almost the same thing as you did above but in the vpopmail domains dir and chown the files vpopmail:vchkpw and chmod 600. cheers Shane -- The cause of the problem is: /dev/clue was linked to /dev/null
