Ah, I see your problem. vpopmail does not create the directory if it doesn't exist.
What is does is: If the user does not have a directory assigned to them.. then it creates the directory, and updates the authentication system with the directory. If you want to go ahead and just rm -rf /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/* Then vpopmail can not help you. vpopmail delegates the responsibility for file system integrity to the file system drivers. It does not attempt to duplicate the file systems responsiblity of maintaining the integrity of the file system. Why the heck would you want to go and delete users directories once they are created?
