With a bit of help from Alex, it seems we have found why the new version of vchkpw won't auth the virtual domain users. Its because it won't do a reverse lookup of the ip to resolve the domain the virtual customer is logging into..
Anyone know whether this is a known bug ?
Basically a virtual domain vd.com
has
mail.vd.com 10.0.0.1
vd.com 10.0.0.1
and a reverse
10.0.0.1 vd.com
user connects to mail.vd.com 110
user jo
pass etc
login successfull...
and currently logs in fine.
When i change to the new vchkpw i see in the log files
connects to mail.vd.com 110
user jo
pass etc
User [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist, auth failure.. blah blah..
Currently with the old version of vpopmail i have it works fine, but the new version (even when configured with enable-ip-alias- domain=y), won't reverse resolve the users domain..
Help ?
Thanks
Nathan
Yes i can telnet to host:110, but the auth for my pass always fails
until i revert to the old vchkpw file... ie the new vchkpw doesn't
seem to be able to read the old vpasswd.cdb file...for the domains...
