But vdelivermail is for delivering mails to a virtual user.
What I am doing here is delivering mails to an external e-mail address.
Once you change your mind and want to deliver mail back to a virtual user,
just click on the catchall for that user in the POP accounts window and the
line
| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
will be added back to prepend whatever POP account you have selected.
