[snip] I don't know if this helps at all, but try commenting out the entire if block. In vchkpw.c for 5.4.0-pre1, this seems to be lines 227 to 245. This piece of code seems to be devoted to verifying the existence of the Maildir and creatign it if its not present. From your previous emails, this isn't a necessary check and you should be able to safely remove it. One thing I'm not sure about, though, is if vchkpw.c tries to do anything in particular with that directory later. Sincerely, Chris Ess System Administrator / CDTT (Certified Duct Tape Technician)
