Or you can just add the qmaild user to the vchkpw group (which is what I
did) This works just fine for me it seems, but I'm guessing it'll only work
for sites that have ALL virtual domains under the vchkpw user, otherwise,
you'll have to run the qmail-smtpd program as root.

I use Mrs. Brisby's drop-in replacement for qmail-smtpd.c with SMTP AUTH
support. It doesn't support CRAM-MD5 authentication but none of the clients
my users use support that anyways.
http://www.nimh.org/dl/qmail-smtpd.c
Then just add "~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true" to the end of the script you
use to launch qmail-smtpd. You do need to recompile qmail-smtpd but not
vpopmail.
If you have vpopmail 4.9.10, you'll need to make qmail-smtpd run as root but
I don't know about newer versions.
