RE: password test failing

I'm not sure I understand how you have gotten any mail to delivery
successfully without having anything in /var/qmail/users, but I'll leave
that alone for the moment...

Regarding /etc/passwd, yea, I think that's all you need normally. In
Q-Cards, I use the Single-UID approach to qmail which means that the POP
info has to be in a separate file from /etc/passwd, sometimes called
poppasswd.
