I may have to hit you up for your expertise.
Thanks,

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. ;)
