Maybe it is.. but I do think that having all the mailboxes for
wherever.com placed inside one directory tree is better then having them
all over the place!

eg: 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

/var/spool/imap/users/u/user1^domain1^com
/var/spool/imap/users/a/another_user^domain1^com

That's even worst!

Cool. I've downloaded all the patches and the ebuild from the link you
provided. Will take a closer look into them. (I doubt I'll use your
shell script since it uses sendmail but heck, it sure as hell looks easy
the way that's done. Good On You!)
