I sent a patch to Ken a while back that implemented this in vpopmail 3.4.11. It
doesn't really do any 'detection' of new users in the database, it simply creates
the maildir for the user if it doesn't exist. IE: I have 2 patches, one for
vchkpw and vdelivermail. The vdelivermail patch, for example, will get the
user's directory from the database, if it doesn't exist, instead of immediately
erroring, it will attempt to create the directory and then finish the delivery.
I thought these patches went into the 3.4.12 development branch, but I could be
wrong. If you want the patches, contact me off list, as I'm sure they're already
in the archives of this list a few times over. They should be easily workable
into the newer code.
