The vadddomain program will automatically remove it from the locals file
and add it to virtualdomains for you.

It means the vpopmail authentication code will append mydomain to any
user
authentication request that doesn't include a domain name.

If you install ucspi-tcp as per it's instructions, you do not need to
set a vpopmail --enable-ucspi-dir option.

I recommend against using apop.

vpopmail is not destructive on installation. It will not remove any of
your
files.

Yes. You can do it with .qmail-user files

That should be enough.

After, qmailadmin uses vpopmail's library.

those options are for the configuration script. you may want to re-read
the INSTALL file. If you are starting from a fresh unpack of a tar ball:
./configure [with your options, like --enable-roaming-users=y]
make
make install-strip
done.
