Hrm. Okies, last time I had that error it was from a full filesystem.
What happens if you make a dummy domain (test.com for example) and try
to test authorization. Also, what auth module do you use? Can you send
as many details as you can perhaps? Also startup scripts for vpopmail
too would be great.
Regards,
Tren.

TB> hi
TB> I'm running qmail as my smtp and pop3 server. I have normal

TB> My pop3 line in inetd (yes, I'm using inetd for now, but that will

TB> /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup my.full.domain
TB> /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
TB> The problem is that nor the normal users, or the virtual/qmail
accounts
