I admin an ISP (relatively small operation but may scale exponentially in the near future). I recently moved to a vpop solution for our hosting customers and it's working great. We use qmail, courier-imap, qmailadmin, and HORDE/IMP for webmail. All existing domains were moved to the new server

2- Is it possible to set a max char. length limit for vpopmail accounts? Would this be better implemented/enforced with frontend scripting to check the lengh before even calling 'vadduser'? Change vpopmail.h. The API calls and associated programs will return an error if the lenghts
