Re: [Omail-webmail-news] Installation Problem.

No it's  not working...

As far I know that /vchkpw is only works with qmail-pop3d and qmail-popup.

So I tried to change the script from :
>   my $vchkpw = "/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw";
to : 
>   my $vchkpw = "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d";
and also 
>   my $vchkpw = "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup";

Still no luck...

Any one could help ??
