I'm curious as well. I'm stuck on a very old version of Courier and while I'll likely be dumping the whole mail system for something entirely different late next year, for now I'd like to at least keep things up to date. Courier 4.0.6(_1,1), courier-authlib-vchkpw 0.58(_2) - this is from FreeBSD ports, the numbers in parens indicate their revisions. The problem I see here, and if I'm not mistaken, vpopmail support was dropped shortly after this version, is that the vpopmail auth module has a huge memory leak. After about one week all my authdaemond processes grow to a few hundred MB in size. Current solution? Nightly cron job to restart the daemon. :( There are a few very good people outside of Inter7 working on vpopmail. Both Bill Shupp and Tom Collins would probably be very helpful to anyone working on this. Check out the sf.net page for their contact info.
