I have been fighting a problem with vpopmail & the smpt-auth patch for several days now and feel a little lost and beaten down.
I use Netscape 7.1 to connect to my email account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and use 'admin' as the username. I can retreive messages without difficulty. When I attempt to reply, Netscape prompts me for a password. I supply the same password I used to retreive email. After some churning, I am presented with the password dialog again.
I have tried this using an SMTP username of 'admin' as well as of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and the results are identical.
I also tried using Outlook Express 6, and saw similar behavior.
My provider is not blocking the SMTP port--I use another SMPT server without difficulty.
I patched qmail 1.03 with the SMTP auth patch 0.31 from http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/.
I configured vpopmail like so:
./configure --enable-logging=p \ --enable-ip-alias-domains=y \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-mysql-logging=y \ --enable-valias=y
(I have tried this with both vpopmail-5.2.1 and vpopmail-5.3.30)
I have used vipmap to associate cono.org with 65.125.228.113.
My supervise/qmail-smtp/run script is:
#!/bin/sh SMTPDUID=`id -u vpopmail` SMTPDGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $SMTPDUID -g $SMTPDGID 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd vps1.digitalfeet.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1
/etc/tcp.smtp contains:
:allow 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 65.125.228.113:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
The /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is current.
The qmail-smtpd log doesn't mean much to me:

The vlog table in Mysql says:
vchkpw: login success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:207.191.210.111
I'd be grateful for any direction as to how to troubleshoot this problem further.
My goal is to install Courier-IMAP and to have my configuration work with it as well. I understand that Courier-IMAP needs to be patched to handle --enable-ip-alias-domains=y, but I suppose that is my next hurdle since I unable even to send messages at this point.
Thanks again,
