Hey Matt,
A QMT user recently had a few problems with their dir_control values
(mysql), which got me to thinking about the directory hashing.
QMT uses the --disable-users-big-dir configure option, so user
directories are never hashed. (BTW, this option also appears to allow

I guess so, and the reason why it is present in /home/vpo
Have been having a think,
Is this possible at all then, with my setup (using php/mysql to create

on user creation? if so has anyone got any suggestions? I would prefer
to not run shell commands/script (security) via php if p

necessarily think it was an unreasonable one, in that the skel system of

to create a standard set of Maildirs for a user.

In vpopmail 4.8.5 (what I'm currently using), vchkpw and vdelivermail will
create a user's directory if it doesn't already exist.

Our vpopmail has started to create user account under directories named
