qmail-pop3d don't want to access /etc/passwd. In fact it does not want
to access any file for autenticating anybody.

Are you sure you've compiled vpopmail with '--enable-passwd'???
_THIS_ error messages tells vchkpw searches vpopmail handled domains for
user 'phi', to be exactly it searched in a (presumbly non-existant)
domain with no name.
If vchkpw is not able to find a user in /etc/passwd the error message is
more like
vchkpw: system user not found phi:10.200.10.1
P.S.: For future mails to this list you really should disable "Reply-To".
1.) It's superfluous. It contains the same address as "From" and
therefore is absolutely useless.
2.) It makes it impossible to easily reply to the list for those MUAs
capable of List-Reply by evaluating 'List-Post' header.
'Reply-To' takes, for obvious reasons, precedence over
'List-Post'.
Thank you.
