If you 'vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED]' you /CAN'T/ auth against /etc/passwd, as 'this' Thomas, with his mails being delivered to '/path-to-vpopmail/domains/example.com/thomas/Maildir' is a member of 'example.com' and not a system user. You have to user your complete e-mail-address as username than. If you want /SYSTEM users/, those with a Maildir usually somewhere in /home/..., to fetch their mails too you can compile vpopmail allowing to authenticate against /etc/passwd (respectively /etc/shadow). If you don't want system users to fetch their mail, but only mails from somewhere below '/path-to-vpopmail', you should, for security reasons, NOT enable passwd password verification at vpopmail compile time. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther I've never danced with the devil, but I once threw up in a Denny's...
