Hi,
Ive installed qmail-1.03 on my FC4 system. Using thunderbird am my MUA,
im able to send messages after authenticating, but while authenticating
for pop, im shown an error

sending of password did not succeed. Mail server 127.0.0.1 responded:
authorization failed, but when I use /bin/checkpassword from CLI, its
working fine.


This is a POP error, not an SMTP error. qmail does not handle POP, so this is not a qmail error. You need to check and see which POP server you are running, and consult with the documentation and/or mailing list that supports your POP server.
