Well, I suppose it's a matter of opinion, but I find it easier to manage system users (who need not be able to log in) on a dedicated mail server than to deal with the complexities of vpopmail. A single interface to manage either style could be made easily enough. I'm not quite sure why you add the '?!' on there, because an entry in /etc/passwd is less complex than an entry in /var/vpopmail/domain/whatever/vpasswd, certainly not moreso! I will admit though that vpopmail does offer more features that you might care about - I just don't happen to use any of them. > Sure.

Okay. :) My perspective is a bit different because I was thinking about it from my perspective, which would be providing external hosting of e-mail for a client, as that's what we do. If somebody called me up and said they wanted mails not to go to external addresses, I would assume that they meant they wanted to keep mail within their domain - none of the other domains on that server!
