I'm working on installing vPopMail on CentOS for use with a Qmail / Courier-IMAP mail-server setup. So far, everything is working out well enough. Mail sent to any virtual user I have setup under any virtual domain (assuming MX records are pointed correctly in the domain DNS) I add to vPopMail is routed correctly to the vPopMail ./Maildir/ and is viewable in /home/vpopmail/domains/domain-example.com/user.name/Maildir/new.

The problem I'm having now is telling the pop service to authenticate using vPopMail instead of the ~default~ Qmail / Courier-IMAP authentication method(s).

"You also need to modify your pop server startup line to use the vchkpw program for authentication." (found at http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/vpopmail.html) is all I can find in any documentation to even give me the clue that that needs to be done.

So, the question:

How do I tell my pop server to authenticate with vPopMail?

Thanks so much in advance! :)

(Feel free to let me know what (if) more info is needed to answer my question..)

+1  A: 

Id go ahead and check this out http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/install.txt

namely item 12

then go ahead and add those lines to your rc.local file or rc.sysinit

good luck

Although, it should be mentioned that that does seem to be the correct direction.. Those specific instructions, however, didn't do the trick.Also, I don't seem to have the tcpserver file anywhere on my system.. Could this be a problem?
