Is this intended? Yes. I called it cutting corners or opertunitist programming. By the time I had the add a new user/directory code working I didn't have time to update the delete a user/directory feature to support backing up in the balenced tree. This leads to domain rot if you will. The code also does not support filling in holes or rebalencing. A safe rebalence batch program might be more useful. It would be easier to write wouldn't break the current code. Feel free to crack open the code and add in the features you want. You can also use the --enable-users-big-dir=n configure option to put all the domains/users in the same dir. Ken Jones Why doesn't it create new domains in the highest possible directory?

Re: [vchkpw] vadddomain path problem
Hi Ryan, I am having a peculiar problem with the vadddomain command. Are you really having a _problem_, meaning, the domain doesn't work? When i run this to add a domain: (vadddomain testing.com), it goes through the password prompt and when complete returns no errors. However, it seems to be adding a 0 (zero) to the end of the path. For example, when adding domain testing.com, the path is /vpopmail/domains/0/testing.com, where it normally is /vpopmail/domains/testing.com. That's not a bug, but the first occurence of the balanced tree feature of vpopmail that applies both to the number of domains and to the number of users in a given domain. As the feature page tells you, vpopmail supports up to 23 million domains. At some point, it simply starts to organize its domains into subdirectories for faster access. It shouldn't lead to any actual problems. Jonas
