Would the --disable-users-big-dir option allow single character usernames?

Hi,

Because vpopmails hashing function uses A-z and 0-9 for subdirectories, 
each a single character.

Hence there would be no way to tell if d was a subdir or a valid user.

I'd have to look at the code but I doubt it.  Perhaps one of the devs 
can chime in.

2008-04-16 Thread D. Hilbig

I asked if there is a valid reason why one is too short?  I.E. An RFC
standard, etc.

I already know that vpopmail's minimum length is two characters.

As far as I know, a length of one character is valid and if this is true
than vpopmail has a bug.
