That is the standard hashing used by vpopmail (when you call vadduser and
vdeluser) to allow for very large number of users/domain while maintaining
some form of efficiency. The hashing creates 100 users per directory and
then starts creating the numbered sub-directories.

You probably wouldn't want to use:

./a/ab/abehrenz
./a/ab/abettler
./a/ac/acelle

because that will probably result in an unbalanced tree (there probably
aren't a lot of /q/qx/qx___ names.

If you need to determine the directory of a particular user just use the
vuserinfo function: vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
