Hi Vpopmail uses vchkpw file for authentication and u the service pop3 uses /etc/passwd file. So disable the pop3 service and smtp services from setup and edit the file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run so as it look like..
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 4000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ erdcinoida.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I am sure it will work definitely. Let me know.. Manish Jain Sys Admin ERDCI Noida On Fri, 2003-01-24 at 04:55, VÃctor R.
