When you hit "reply", it sends it to you, not the list.  
I just added the list as a CC before.

At any rate, the support added to auto-create was
added as a fail-safe recovery method, should the directory
get corrupted or deleted by mistake.  It appears you're 
exploiting a recovery mechanism.  This may be fine for
your implementation, however its most likely to come
back and haunt you in the future.

Going behind the scenes to insert directly into the
database is a kludge.  For many users, the database
isn't an option.  The repository can be many backing
stores, one of which may be MySQL.

If you don't like the supplied methods to create user
accounts, you're welcome to add your own.  However keep
in mind that other things go on in the API like validation
and such, and it allows a central place to implement
any other "side effects" that may be required at account
creation time.  This would most likely be the place to
enforce the vlimits recently added to the vpopmail library.

Bypassing the intended API is a kludge.
