It will miss a lot of mail if you have .qmail-alias not using vdelivermail, But if you have a majority of the mail going to accounts not using vdelivermail why use vpopmail at all? But if I was running let say a free email site or a ISP and have hundred of thousands of accounts the Virge solutions would be more efficient since it is written in C and not ran through an interpreter. True? And for the record the next Virge patch will include the option of suppling the execute statement for delivery so then there will be no missed mail even on .qmail-alias.
