Hi, Justin, well, there's no one more simple :) the most options are *no* by default, so I just use: ./configure --enable-qmaildir=/usr/local/qmail thanks, Gustavo Luis, which options did you use when compiling vpopmail? top shows a vchkpw process consuming more then 90% CPU and I get a *server busy* on client. #!/bin/sh env - PATH="/usr/local/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" MAXCON=40 exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -c "$MAXCON" 0 pop3 \ /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mydomain.here.com \ /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /usr/local/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
