No, the large site or small site does the same thing, creating sub
directories. The large site option is only for sql databases. It
creates a separate table for each domain, instead of storing all
users in one table (with a column for the domain name). With large
site the domain name information is encoded as the table name. Saves
space for very large sites.

One thing I'm looking at adding is having vadduser code not allow
a username which is one character long and is in 0-9,a-z,A-Z since
vpopmail will create directories with these letters.
