I've updated the FAQ to be more accurate.
16. I want to upgrade vpopmail, what do I need to worry about?
Two things happen on an upgrade. The programs, library and
include files get over written and the permissions get fixed.
None of the users or domain get touched. So to upgrade:
1) download new vpopmail software
2) ./configure with your options
3) make
4) make install-strip
5) upgrade completed.
If you want to backup the programs, libraries and include files
then back up ~vpopmail/bin, ~vpopmail/include and ~vpopmail/lib
