What you'd want, from what I can tell here is to configure vpopmail to have
/etc/passwd support, not default domain support.  This will allow you to
still deliver to ~user/Maildir.  Then make your virtual domain.  This will
deliver to ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir.  Compile sqwebmail
with PAM authentication (so you can access your ~user/Maildir) and vchkpw
authentication (so you can access the
~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir)

This is how I had it running for about a year, until I switched everything
over to a virtual domain with default domain compiled in.  I lost support
for /etc/passwd user delivery and popping via vchkpw, but that's fine for
me, since I don't have shells anymore on my box.

Hope this helps,

Tren.

Subject: Adding vpopmail & impact on existing mail


My apologies for cross-posting this, but I really wasn't sure where to send
it.

As I've discussed since last night on these lists, I'm trying to add
vpopmail support for Sqwebmail 2.1.1. After realizing that I had to
recomplie Sqwebmail, since when I initially was using it I didn't have
vpopmail, I attempted to do so and got a make error about authvchkpw not
having DEFAULT_DOMAIN defined. So I recompiled/installed vpopmail with
default-domain set to the domain I've been running since before I tried to
put in vpopmail. When I recompiled Sqwebmail, everything went great.

I've not installed the new Sqwebmail binary, though, because I'm worried
about the mail from my old domain. With it enabled as vpopmail's default
domain, will Sqwebmail look for mail in ~USER/Maildir, or
~vpopmail/domains/domain/USER/Maildir? I just don't want to lose access to
all of my old mail inaverdently.

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
