Typically when people recompile vpopmail they do it by running a make clean or make distclean in the source directory and reconfiguring it. I've found this to be just a tad unreliable and I usually erase the source dir, and untar a "fresh" batch of source to make my new build. This usually resolves oddities like you described below. Also, after a make install-strip vpopmail will attempt to chown everything with the vpopmail:vchkpw user and group. Sometimes to verify (usually for my own sanity more than anything else) before I run the make install-strip I'll move the ~vpopmail/bin to ~vpopmail/bin.old that way I know that when it installs it won't fail at attempting to overwrite a file that's currently in use. I also, before the make install-strip, stop any pop3 or smtp services that might be using vpopmail for the same reason. Give that a shot.

I am now able to receive mail and check it with sqwebmail. I do still notice one thing. When I first installed on the new box, vpopmail user and group was #97. It was #89 on the first box so I changed it to #89 on the new box after noticing problems. Now I have reconfigured and reinstalled vpopmail, sqwebmail, vqadmin, and qmailadmin so they will all 'see' the new user number. When I look at /var/qmail/usera/assign I see than when I create new domains the user/group is #97. Also, if I ls -all /home/vpopmail/domains I see the user and group is 97 and not 'vopmail' or something. I can't login with qmailadmin either, any domain or account. Please help, I'm loosing it, : ).
