vpopmail export (non)problem for 1.4.1

Hello,

I have a vpopmail export on debian woody (via shellcommands_withdomain).
vadduser here doesnt' take the password as argument, but rather wants it
fed via STDIN (which is a good thing anyway, as I understand).

Which is the correct way to terminate lines fed via stdin for this and
other exports? I have tried both

$password
$password


and

$password\n$password\n

but they both behave the same, that is, the maildir gets created
correctly, but the export code somehow doesn't realize and keeps the
item queued. Queued items say:

[Sun Nov 16 19:55:45 2003] [5401] [Net:SSH::ssh_cmd] STDERR Enter new
POP password: Enter new POP password again:  at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Net/SSH.pm line 130, <GEN70> chunk 1.



When I manually force the queue items, they run ok (should't they return
an error now, since vadduser returns 0 if the user's there yet?)

As I said, this is a minor problem, only it keeps the welcome email from
being sent immediatly to users!

any ideas?

thanks
