One step I would do is turn on mysql logging and watch the select statements that are executed when you try to authenticate - make sure everything looks good there and keep troubleshooting. If you followed the toaster exactly, it should just 'work' - I noticed in your previous post that you were specifying CRAM_MD5 as your login type - do you have clear text passwords in your vpopmail database ? If not, CRAM_MD5 won't work. Try AUTH PLAIN -- Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED]
