Yup, with vadduser, just go: ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser -n user@domain
-n means no password. To test then, do a: telnet 0 110 USER user@domain PASS whatever QUIT Then do a ~vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo user@domain and look for the password.

Also, I tried adding a user and it insisted on wanting a password - vadduser and the qmailadmin. I assume for "learning" to take affect you need a blank password. So, how to create a user w/o a password?
