You should definitly upgrade. Alot of changes have happened
since 4.8a.
Here is what I recommend.
Create a ~vpopmail/etc directory and move your tcp.smtp* files
into that directory.
Then run vpopmail configure. I use the following line
./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-hardquota=n \
--enable-default-domain=xxx.com
I want roaming users, no quota checking and a default domain.
I like the defaults on all the other options.
The configure script will look in /etc and in ~vpopmail/etc
for your tcp.smtp files. If they aren't in /etc and they
are in ~vpopmail/etc, then vpopmail will do it's tcp.smtp
work in the ~vpopmail/etc dir.
Make sure ~vpopmail/etc and the files there are owned by
vpopmail
chmod -R vpopmail.vchkpw ~vpopmail/etc
It should be clear sailing from there..
