I have to ask. Why not use stunnel to create the SSL tunnel and just use
the standard qmail POP3 like you're doing for non-SSL?
My line to start this is:
env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin" \
tcpserver -H -R -u 89 -g 89 0 pop3s \
stunnel -T pop3s -p /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem \
-l /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup vengeance.tokimi.net \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
This uses a 3.x version of stunnel. A version 4.x stunnel requires
something completely different.
But, to answer the issue with Courier pop3...

If I've followed this conversation correctly...
Rather than removing /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw at the beginning of step
two, shouldn't you be renaming it to a different path so that you can use
it for use with plain POP3 (with should not authenticate IPs)? Or am I
confused?
After rebuilding vpopmail with --enable-roaming-users=y in step 2, you
should then recompile Courier to ensure that it is linking against the new
(and proper) version of libvpopmail.a Changing the vchkpw binary will
not affect Courier since, as Mr. Collins says, Courier links directly
against the library and does not ever deal with the vchkpw binary.
I hope this helps.
