At the vpopmail webpage, I see a spec file.  It is really flawed:
during the install phase, it removes any existing vpopmail user from
the system, and adds one with the fixed 771 uid.

Of course, if I try to install the rpm on a system which has vpopmail
user but with different uid, while things will get installed, vpopmail
will not work.

A remedy would be to specify 

attr(-,vpopmail,vchkpw)

in the files stanza.  If all the files are owned by vpopmail:vchkpw, perhaps

the files stanza can be reduced to

%files
attr(-,vpopmail,vchkpw) /home/vpopmail
%doc doc/*
