vmailmgr compatibility?

Well Ben, if you aren't using vmailmgr, it looks like the latest spop3d
does what you need; letting you mix maildir and mailbox access, and even handles
the virtual domain stuff.  One solution I'm considering is to let vmailmgr
do the DELIVERY to the mailboxes, but ignore its vpasswd utility and just
use that which comes with spop3d.  Still, it would be nice if the two were
compatible, or if the authentication mechanism could be abstracted out some
way similar to how it is with qpop3d;  then for the virtual domains I could
say "hey, use vcheckpasswd", but for the rest it would use the default,
perhaps scheckpasswd.  And if it was pluggable modules, anyone could write
another auth module so you could have almost any scheme.

Does the author of spop3d subscribe to this list?

Ben, can you give an example of what you mean by command line or environment
variable configuration of mbox access?  Whats wrong with using the config
file?

Cheers!
