[Cialug] Help configuring Qmail with checkpassword for SMTP auth

[albus]

Claus,

I was told when my server was setup from Inter7 that they used check 
password.
Here is my run file.

Hope it helps. I'm using vpopmail so there aren't any real system accounts

If you need anything else let me know.

#!/bin/sh

QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`

if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" -o -z "$LOCAL" ]; 
then
    echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, MAXSMTPD, or LOCAL is unset in
    echo /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run
    exit 1
fi

if [ ! -f /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts ]; then
    echo "No /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts!"
    echo "Refusing to start SMTP listener because it'll create an open 
relay"
    exit 1
fi

exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 8000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 
"$MAXSMTPD" \
        -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp rblsmtpd \
                -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \
                -r relays.ordb.org \
                /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw 
/bin/true 2>&1
