Are you sure you want this? vpopmail keeps everything under one owner, and your users cannot mess with it, much better than the traditional way of running qmail, with unix users able to access their Maildirs and .qmail files via ftp. You could run proftpd with chroot to get around it, but you would still have mixed ownership problems. Of course it makes life easier for handling quotas, but then mail quota and web quota are different and have different needs. I would suggest that leaving vpopmail where it is is more secure than throwing them both together and though vpopmail quotas is not quite up to scratch there are improvements in the pipeline. my 2 bits worth -- ----------------- Bob Hutchinson Midwales dot com -----------------
