if the password field is blank (I think the actual encrypted password field, not the cleartext password) then it will be learned. If you set a password for the user, or if the user has already 'taught' vpopmail its password, it doesn't 'learn' anymore. make sure not to have learn-password on while using smtp auth, or have two separate vchkpw binaries, one with and one without learn password, as that creates a huge security hole. (even bigger than enabling learn-password!) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
