It is an external program, but it uses vmailmgr libraries, so it has to live inside vmailmgr's source tree. The patch for Makefile.am is just for user's comfort - you could also compile bincimap-auth-vmailmgr by hand. I wrote three emails to Bruce Guenter in my life; none of them received a response; that's why I'm not trying to make this authenticator become a part of vmailmgr anymore. > Other than checkvpw's > "requirement" of having a maildir-like argument (and rewriting > it), I'd say it works as it should. The whole rewriting thing is simply broken; I've sent Bruce Guenter a trivial patch, changing checkvpw to work as documented in it's manpage, but received no reply.
