Personally, I just redid the mail server.
total format. I installed qmail, and vpopmail just like I had the first
time, then sat down in the bin directory of vpopmail and did ./vadddomain to
add the domains in. (even tho I keep getting a seq fault now)
After that was done, I went into the domains directory, deleted the domain
name directory, and then restored it from my backup.
Works like a charm
PS: The seq fault was happening fresh out of the install, and no one has
been able to give me a solution on it yet
