Even with only one e-mail-domain I find it easier to maintain these users e.g. using 'qmailadmin' than to maintain '/etc/passwd' entries. > I'm not quite sure why you add the '?!' on there, because an entry > in /etc/passwd is less complex than an entry > in /var/vpopmail/domain/whatever/vpasswd, certainly not moreso! I added '?!' because you wondered about why somebody would want to use vpopmail for only a single domain and I can not answer this question for everybody else. So '?' meant to say: "Maybe somebody has different reasons for doing this?" and '!' was intended to express: "This is the reason why I do install vpopmail even on single-domain servers!" :-) -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions.
