It has full source, and should be easy to change to user mail. I wonder if there are security implications which I am unaware of? > Does the vpop user need to own files? They need to be able to read and write the files in /var/spool/mail/$VIRTUAL_DOMAIN/, but the best way to do that is to make the files owned by group mail, and make them group writable (like the normal system mailboxes).
