Hi Quinn,
Thank you for your answer. I am using qmail (6 year old) in ~/Maildir
format. I am replacing my current server with fressh Fedora 5 installation.
I like qmailtoaster package since it has integrated all supported packages
that I want except I donot have plan to host multiple domains-- and this is
where I need to use the local users. I am going to recompile
vpopmail-toaster with system passwords = ON (enabled) and give it a try and
see what happens. Prior to your email, Erick pointed out to your earlier
archive and I have read it. I will let you and all know how it goes.
Once again, thank you for helping me out.
Best regards,
M. Katwal

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. ;)

Install the vpopmail rpm and edit the spec file. Under configure
change --disable-passwd to --enable-passwd and rebuild the rpm.
Continue as per usual install.
Since this will modify the vpopmail libs, please ensure that you
recompile the courier packages as well. Or better yet, start from
scratch.

Hi Erik,
Thanks again for the super prompt reply. I am comfortable with
modifyingthe
rpm spec files. I will follow your directions and try to find out the
archive that explains the trick.

Hello Manoj
Thank you for your prompt reply. Is there a way we can tweak
vpopmail so
that I can use existing local users without having to create new
users?
OR
is it possible to migrate all of my users to vpopmail users without
having
to change their password and still be able to manage all of my
users that
would point the primary domain (by creating new thru vpopmail)?
Tweaking vpopmail to use local users is fairly simple, if you are
comfortable with modifying rpm spec files. I think Quinn sent the
options that need to be changed. I'll dig it up when I get a chance,
or perhaps you can check out the archive. It was literally in the last
two days or so.
I know that Jake has a few scripts to convert local users to vpopmail
users, so maybe he'll chime in on that one.
any help or suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks.
No Problem.
