I don't think those two suggestions are mutually exclusive. #1 is
actually more complicated however, since DIR/DOMAIN/USER isn't always
enough. vpopmail aliases can look like this:
DIR/DOMAIN/.qmail-USER
If those two don't exist, sometimes a "catchall" address can exist,
which looks like this:
DIR/DOMAIN/.qmail-default
However, the difference between a "catchall" address and a "delete
bounced" address is the contents of the .qmail-default file.
That's all for standard vpopmail. vpopmail can also store its user
information in a database. Standard (vanilla) qmail stores its user
information in a CDB file. Plesk uses a database. See how quickly this
becomes complicated?
