One thing: I currently use tcpserver to enable relaying using

Is there anyway to do this using qpsmtpd-forkserver?

My recommendation is to not use pop-before-smtp at all (it's just so `90's), and use SMTPAUTH instead (which all modern and not so modern clients will support). It depends completely on how your client is authenticating users; the included auth/auth_vpopmail_sql works out of the box for the most commonly (recommended) installation of vpopmail, for example.

I have used envdir in the past but I wasn't sure how your ${} constructs
work. For example, what does this do:

${DATALIMIT+"-d$DATALIMIT"}

That is a shell construct that means:

  If $DATALIMIT exists, then append "-d$DATALIMIT" here.

The other constructs do something similar, i.e. "${PORT-25}" means

  If $PORT exists use that value, otherwise use 25

The reason I use that `run` file is that I can store it in my local svk repository and check it out on multiple boxes and just add the appropriate env/FILE and it Just Works(TM).
