But creating an entry in MySQL and crypting the password is only part of the process that vadduser (or any of the web admin interfaces like qmailadmin which use the vpopmail libraries) do. It really is easier to use vadduser or link to the appropriate routines in the vpopmail libraries (or use one of the webadmin tools). It is also safer, because if vpopmail changes in the future, vadduser will do whatever is necessary to accommodate that change whereas your method (whatever it is) may not. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
