Is it supposed to be in Russian?  "No such user" would indicate that authentication
is failing.

Are the permissions correct?  qmailadmin, on most systems, should be owned by
vpopmail:vchkpw and should be SUID and SGID.

Is SELinux enabled?  SELinux may be blocking qmailadmin's access to certain
files or the SUID/SGID it needs.

qmailadmin doesn't use IMAP, so you wouldn't see a failed IMAP login.
