strange aunthentication issue with email

hi again
i'm running a centos 4.x box with sendmail and openwebmail. I had a weird situation where users couldn't not get authenticated using a pop mail client but but were able to aunthenticate using the openwebmail webmail client. I looked through the logs and didn't see anything strange. I restarted both services and that did not help. I ended up just restarting the server to fix this problem but would like some insight on what could of caused this. anybody else have similar issues?

thank you

If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient.
