1) Sounds good, I'll use the real, canonical name
2) I didn't realize the password replacement could do all that work by
itself. It apparently doesn't need the vmailmgrd daemon to run?
3) I agree that the pop3 clients can be configured to leave things on the
server. It's reassuring to know that my users are in fact able to switch
between webmail/pop clients.
I've looked at the vmailmgr archives for all of June (I didn't seem to find
an archive for prior to June). They have very few posts compared to this
list and not many replies to the posts. I appreciate the help I am receiving
here about qmail-pop3 and vmailmgr.
