That is the exact line.

This looks fine.

It appeared to actually accept all emails regardless if the user was on the system or not. When I remove that line it will reject email for invalid users using chkuser.

Probably in your configuration you have the variable *CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE* that must be defined, or is is defined in a wrong way. Check that.

Should I change
/* #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_START" */
to
#define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_ALWAYS_ON"

No, you should start a debugging session, and see what's happening.

First, run patched qmail-smtpd manually (as root) and check if chkuser works this way.

$ ./qmail-smtpd

mail from <wrong_sender>

mail from <right_sender>

rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

rcpt to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Second, make the same test telnetting to the port where you're running qmail-smtpd.

Third, enable chkuser debugging and disable splogger, and watch what happens telnetting to port 25.

Let me know, ciao.
