This is still a little confusing to me, but it looks like you don't need
vlogin.  The idea behind vlogin is that users don't have to type in the
whole IMAP user name - the host portion is automatically taken from the
domain of the URL they used to get to the webmail page.  That is:

A user could type "zordah" if they went to
http://caramon.zordah.net/mail and they would be automatically logged in
to IMAP using "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".  (it would also allow
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to log in, but they could not type "sales" without
"@cscs.com.au" unless the URL they used was http://cscs.com.au/mail or
similar).  (So valid logins for http://caramon.zordah.net/mail would be:
zordah, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED])

The only other use for vlogin has been for people hosting multiple
domains where usernames are not dependent on virtual domain names, but
they want custom logos on the login page (or other features) for each of
the virtual domains they host.

So it depends on: 
  -- if you have more than one domain's webmail pointing at the same SM
installation (and if you need any customization per domain)
  -- what you want your users to type on the login page (regardless of
the actual IMAP username)

That should not be a problem.  What are the permissions and ownership on
that directory?
