Can we define what "nothing happens" means?

Which you know how?

If you haven't already, enable the highest level of php logging.  Also 
make sure your poppassd server is logging connections and progess/errors.
Make sure your system is logging everything (like tcp_wrappers, firewalls,
inetd/xinetd access/problems, etc).

Check all your log files.  Try to find anything that looks like an error.

Make sure you can connect by hand to the poppassd server from your web
server using the same configuration (host and port) as in your passwd
configuration, and that changing the password that way works.

Make sure there is not a realm/non-realm issue (if you login as 
user at realm, but passwd is passing only user without the realm, etc).

But basically, I've never seen it say success and fail (usually it reports
failures correctly).

Fixed in CVS.  Will have to make a 2.2.1 release soon I guess, due to this
problem, and broken sql/vpopmail drivers.

Thanks for finding that typo.
