But the problem then is that if a user uses "peter" with no domain then
the default /home/vpopmail/vpasswd is used. From the virtual domains
howto. The "real" username/passwords are located in /etc/passwd.
Is there a way to get vchkpw to look use /etc/passwd for an existing qmail
setup running pop3d? Or can vchkpw only go have virtual users/doamins?
IE f-tech.net is my "real" mail server but I want to add
"haven.k12-pa-us" and benesch.f-tech.net as virtual mail domains.
Thanks
