vpopmail does directory hashing because some filesystems (ext2/3, UFS without
DIR_HASH, etc) will slow to a crawl with large directories (the general rule
of thumb is about 1000 files in a directory is the breaking point)
You can disable this when building vpopmail by configuring it with the
--disable-users-big-dir flag.
Is this causing you any problems? If not, then you should leave it how it is
for performance reasons.
