You don't say whether the ~/vpopmail was saved (some people install it
under /var). Assuming so, then AFAIK re-installing qmail should make
all the permissions corect for /var/qmail/control. Then you need only
add a line for each of your domains to rcpthosts:
visca-server.com
hevly.com
parcir.com
etc.
Then a line like the following in virtualdomains:
visca-server.com:visca-server.com
hevly.com:hevly.com
parcir.com:parcir.com
etc.
Do `chown -R vpopmail.vchkpw /home/vpopmail/domains`
Restart qmail (checking to see that the UID and GID of vpopmail are
correct)
and everything should be as it was.
