Hi Manoj Changing these options will enable vpopmail to authenticate against users in /etc/passwd. I haven't done this myself, but as I understand it, vpopmail will then be able to find where to deliver mail by getting the user's home path from /etc/passwd and delivering mail to ~/Maildir instead of into the virtual users directories under /home/vpopmail/domains. I'm not 100% certain on this.
Also, if users don't have mail stored under ~/Maildir (in Maildir++ format) you will need to migrate mail to these user maildirs. What kind of mail system are you migrating from? I recently did a complex migration from a 6-year-old sendmail server to qmail toaster so I know all the tricks. ;) Quinn --------------------------------------------------------------------- Strangecode :: Internet Consultancy http://www.strangecode.com/ +1 530 624 4410 On Mon, 13 Nov 2006 12:05:52 -0800, Erik Espinoza wrote: > http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/msg09071.html > > Install the vpopmail rpm and edit the spec file.
