i don't think there is a well defined reason.. however vpopmail is designed for many users. and as you can see from the directory structure (chmod 700 vpopmail.vchkpw) it is not meant that every user puts his own .qmail-whatever files in that tree, even more so, as most of these users don't know what to put in it and could do some damage by (imagine someone putting a |rm -fR ~vpopmail alias into his own .qmail file..) well, some of us know what to do with .qmail files, but no one forces you to use vdelivermail for them. you can probably put them into /var/qmail/users/assign and still have all other users of that domain use vdelivermail. > > so you could stick with your > > /home/vpopmail/domains/robinbowes.com/robin/.qmail > > file to catch all [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail > > and use a /home/vpopmail/domains/robinbowes.com/.qmail-robin-bogo-spam > > file to > > catch mail for > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mail to this adress won't be processed > > by the > > robin/.qmail file) > > I've done this and it works. > > However, this is rather awkward to use for several users.
