Default Qmail SMTP Auth or VCHKPW

I installed Qmail-Toaster following the direction from " Nick Hemmesch step
by step guide for Red Hat." on RedHat 9 then setup 10 or so domains,
everyone is sending and receiving e-mail and Horde web mail works BUT:
I can't figure out how to force SMTP to check client passwords.... My
/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run file:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
BLACKLIST=`cat /var/qmail/control/blacklists`
SMTPD="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd"
TCP_CDB="/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb"
RBLSMTPD="/usr/bin/rblsmtpd"
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
VCHKPW="/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw"

exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 3800000 \
/usr/bin/tcpserver -v -R -S -p -x $TCP_CDB -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
$RBLSMTPD $BLACKLIST $SMTPD $HOSTNAME $VCHKPW /bin/true 2>&1

I have Outlook set to use a password to login to send mail and outlook sends
mail, if I un-check the SMTP Authorization box I can still send mail.....

Thanks

What is in your control/rcpthosts file?
What is in your /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp file?
Please be very careful with this server until you get this
straightened out, you may be an open relay right now.

Have you tried:
1. grep 127 /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb # make sure this file was
compiled
2. telnet localhost 25 and run EHLO and make sure that the AUTH patch
was applied
2a. Actually, it's probably a good idea to make sure that none of the
variables declared in the beginning of the script are empty.
3. What is in /var/qmail/control/blacklists?
4. Did you follow directions similar to those found here?
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmai...th/faq.html#a3
5. I am assuming that when you tested this with Outlook that you were
sending mail to a domain that is not listed in rcpthosts
6. I should warn you that if all else fails my recommendation will be
to scrap your qmail installation and recompile and install it via
http://www.lifewithqmail.org. I am not familiar with Nick Hemmesch's
guide but have followed LWQ several times and had a solid qmail
installation built and running within fifteen minutes.

Telnet login:
[root@aca8 root]# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 Welcome to QMAIL TOASTER v 1.0 smtp Server ESMTP
EHLO
250-Welcome to QMAIL TOASTER v 1.0 smtp Server
250-STARTTLS
250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250 SIZE 0

-- of course I have no idea what I'm looking at.
While looking at the logs I found:
@400000003fa142323453d5fc qmail-smtpd: pid 13725 from 196.32.51.118 Invalid
RELAY client: MAIL from: <svzvp@jubiipost.dk>
and I've figured out that vpopmail is doing the auth with vchkpw
As far as I can tell everyting is working : I have not found anything that
test a qmail setup other then the telnet login from the last post.
