replying to my own post...I found that FreeBSD ports, where I installed it from, for some reason has some nonsensical defaults, such as: --enable-tcpserver-file=/usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp yet, I put in a symlink from /usr/local/vpopmail/etc to /home/vpopmail/etc, which I would have thought would have fixed this, but it didn't...
