assign is supposed to be the translated contents of the passwd file -- Bruce's
cron job regularly takes the passwd file and creates assign from it. Anything
else which you want in the qmail-users mechanism is supposed to be placed
into append, so that updating assign (after changing passwd) won't erase it.
vpopmail is apparently not doing this. Fix vpopmail. Make it put the stuff
it wants in qmail-users into append instead of assign. Then everything will
work the way djb designed it to.
