hi
i write a program for this
http://www.EnderUNIX.ORG
here is description:
-----------------------
EnderUNIX Vpwd2SQL is a tool, written in PERL that is used to
convert '/etc/shadow or /etc/master.passwd' accounts to
vpopmail accounts. It does the conversion this way ;
1. reads /etc/shadow or /etc/master.passwd to extract
user information.
2. creates the domain in the MySQL database.
3. creates the accounts in the database, correctly
updating the 'passwords in the database' with the
existing (shadow) password.
4. If exists, any /var/spool/mail/$user or /var/mail/$user mailboxes are
converted to $HOME/Maildir/ mails.
5. changing sqwebmail password (sqwebmail-pass file in $user Maildir
directory ) , so $user can login from sqwebmail without any problem
