If unauthorized people are able to login to your accounts, there are
bigger problems at hand that captcha or pictcha (did I invent that word?)
will not help!

This is *not* a bug.  Please don't claim that your setup issue is a
software bug.  You might also try using the Vadmin (you don't say what
version you are using - did you read the mailing list posting
guidelines before you posted?) code from CVS at its project site,
which is much improved and expanded.

Maybe you have PHP safe_mode turned on or open_basedir is set.

Vadmin is overkill for that - by a long shot.

This can be achieved by building an external page that users have to
log into with some security data that is stored somewhere in your user
accounts backend, after which the SM login page is made accessible.

It could also be done as a plugin wherein the user sets up the
security data on the Personal Information page (can be prompted when
first logging in to do so) and then used either on the login page or
as a secondary login page (although I am not sure how easy injecting a
2nd page between login.php and redirect.php would be - it'd probably
need to be a source hack.  The secondary page could be injected
between redirect.php and webmail.php, but this means that the user
would technically already be logged in -- the plugin would be acting
more to block using any SM features after login until the security
information is provided by the user, but again, the user would
technically be logged in.

My point is that I already gave you some ideas and tips in my very
first email.  Update Vadmin, check for PHP safe_mode or open_basedir
settings, or better - don't use Vadmin just for a password change
utility.
