I have qmail working fine but the webmail does not work, currently I am using sqwebmail, but for some reason it does not allow any user to log inm, saying "invalid username..." I have tested with other webmail packages and the same happens, anyone know what is missing in my configuration

thanks

You need to disable the sqwebmail authdeamond and only use the vchpw auth module. In your configure line for sqwbmail you have to use --without-authdeamon --without-mysql --without-ldap etc.. etc... using only --with-vchkpw.

It won't work any other way.
 
Thanks for the info, but i can not find anywhere the place for the sqwebmail configuration, all i see is the sqwebmail.exe and the css directory that does not have anything like that.

thanks again
 
I might have given you some bad advice. I was assuming you were using the vpopmail admin package with sqwebmail (that's the only way I've done it) If you're not my above suggestion is useless, but you may want to go to and download vpopmail (it's not a server it's an administration tool - it's excellent)

but if you are using the vpop set-up

you have to set the configure options when prior to compiling the program. If you cd into the sqwebmail source directory and enter ./configure --help it will list the "configure options"

among those will be several types of authdeamons
