Ken,
Thanks for the speedy-speedy reply. I took your suggestions, and
1. updated my installation to 4.10.35 (not visibly available on the website,
but luckily I knew the version # now...)
2. made the change to my qmail-smtpd invocation such that it now starts up
with the uid of the vpopmail user.
I get past the "user not found" problem, however I get a different error
now:
==8<----
Aug 23 15:29:07 hostname vpopmail[10214]: vchkpw: password fail
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ip.add.re.ss
====8<--
>From my /var/qmail/rc script:
tcpserver -v -H -P -R -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-l $HOST -u $QUSER -g $QGROUP 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd $HOST \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true \
/var/qmail/bin/cmd5checkpw /bin/true 2>&1 \
| /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
Where $QUSER is now == `id -u vpopmail`
If I use a POP3, IMAP client (or simple telnet), they all authenticate me
properly. I still cannot get qmail-stmpd to AUTH properly. Any more
suggestions?
I tried this using a different ID than given in the IMAP config: (ie:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], jdries%domain.com, and just jdries) ... All to no avail.
