I tried it out a while back. Here's what I found, to the best of my
recollection:
1. Don't worry about the vpopmail patch, it doesn't work anymore and you
don't need it.
2. You have to run your smtp server as someone that can authenticate with
vpopmail (root or vpopmail)
3. If you use multiple /etc/passwd users with vpopmail for system quotas,
I'm pretty sure you need to run it as root.
Perhaps someone can verify the above, but I think that's what I had to do to
get it running. Although I never put it in production.
Cheers,
Bill Shupp
