Unfortunately, no. All the single characters are reserved
for directory hashing.
What you could do is give him a new email address with
two or more characters, then create an alias that points
his single character address to his new address.
For example:
vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
valias -i "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the valias command does the same thing as
echo "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-a
