Ian:

I've tried that configuration, but I'm still unable to authenticate virtual users through vchkpw... There must be something I've missing. I've compiled courier-imap with --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs --without-ipv6 --enable-unicode options, got vpopmail 5.3.8 and imapd running, but I'm still can't make it works. Qmail and smtp-auth works fine, but not webmail. Squirrelmail doesn't mind about anybody... but local users! If I try 'pepe' (a shell account), it authenticates, but not 'pe...@domain.com', who exists and is a valid virtual user that works in vpopmail. Something interesting: In the courier-imap documentation there's a point that claims:

"configure should automatically detect if you use vpopmail, and compile and install the authvchkpw authentication module."

This "authcvhkpw" module isn't anywhere. May this be the problem?

Any other ideas?

http://inter7.com/vpopmail/FAQ i think its point number 16 or 17..

important note.. 1. use version 5.3.8 of vpopmail if you are storing user info in the vpopmail native format.. and disableclear password on vpopmail.. consult the vpopmail list for integrating courier-imap and vpopmail... and search the archives of the vpopmail list regarding 'sporatic login' and 'courier-imap'

Hi list,

I'm new with courier-imap, and need some help with this... I've got qmail+vpopmail installed, and need to run a webmail client. This headed me to squirrelmail, and then to courier-imap... The question is:

How do I configure courier-imap to authenticate users with vpopmail's vchkpw?

Any URL, howto, manual or any king of help will be very appreciated!
