 Hi Guys,
 
 I have a simple question. I created a domain test65.com and my
 dir_control table looks like this:
 
 test65.com103000616161024000 dom_507103000616161024000 
 
 I then deleted the domain which was removed from dir_control, but the
 dom_507 record was not.
 Is this the way it's supposed to work? If so, what is the reason for
 leaving the above record in the table, although the domain was deleted?

Yes, it was meant to work this way.  If you're running a newer version of
vpopmail, this entry will be re-used by a new domain.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the quick reply.

 vpopmail, this entry will be re-used by a new domain.
Do you mean in the newer versions of vpopmail, newly added domains reuse the 
same entry?
Also, is there any documentation anywhere about dir_control works? From what 
I understand it's to do with hashing, am I right? But what exactly? For example 
I would like to understand how dom_507 relates to test65.com..
Also is there anyway to manage dir_control, if say the table grows too large, 
like a purging command? Should this be a concern?
Cheers,Michael.

Yep.  It's called the 'backfill patch'.

 Also, is there any documentation anywhere about dir_control works?

You can find answers to all these questions by searching vchkpw archives.
The short answer is: No, you shouldn't worry about it
