count how much domains you have in your ~vpopmail/domains/ dir - it is
very useful if you have 100s of domains - all of them in one
directory could grow to the FD limit on the directory and operations
on that directory would be very very very slow. It's due to filesystem
limits. We have better and better filesystems with journaling but this
idea is one of the milestones in all unixes few years ago ;-)
you have similar solution in postfix where all mailboxes in domain are
divided into directories i.e. servit.com.ar/c/r/y/crypto
AFAIR if you don't want to use it check your configure options for
--enable-large-site=y and change it to 'n'

[vchkpw] Question about domains in vpopmail

[Fernando Milovich]

People, after i rebuild new 5.4.10 vpopmail 
version, when i add a new domain from CLI, breaks the typical structure 
of
~vpopmail/domains/domain.com 
for this one 
~vpopmail/domains/1/domain.com
with numbers like 2,3, etc ... before the domain 
... why it is this happening?
 
Thanks so much,
 
Fernando
