Which FAQ list are you refering to? The FAQ list I have from version 4.9.10
has only 28 items listed, none mentioning uninstalling vpopmail.
Furthermore, I do not think that by simply removing the vpopmail user and
vchkpw group will remove all files related to vpopmail, allowing for a clean
re-install.
