vchkpw doesn't run, it just runs to authenticate a user and
then exits. Try getting on the box you're using this on
and 'telnet hostname.domain.com 110' so you telnet to the POP3
port. If it is working you should see something like this:
mail:~# telnet domain.com 110
Trying 1.2.3.4...
Connected to domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If you get that far, issue:
user postmaster%domain.com
It should say +OK
Finally, try "pass password"
It will say +OK or give an error. Once the error happens
check your logs. If you don't have anything in the logs,
then your init script for the pop3 daemon is probably
incorrect.

Yes, I've tried that but I think that the problem must be in vchkpw because
it doesn't appears to be running. If I execute it it doesn't stays running,
it closes :-?
Is there any way to see a debug of what's happening?
