As was pointed out in an email by another user recently, the UID and GID is
stored in the config.status file after compiling vpopmail. To the best of my
knowledge, if you compile a clean source tree of vpopmail on the new system
after you have added the vpopmail/vchkpw user/group, then you shouldn't have
any problems on the new system as long as long as file ownerships are
correct.

Subject: UID/GID
Hi all,
Let's say my vchkpw UID/GID is 500/500. If I want the whole domain files to
move to another site/hdd, I would simply tar gzip all files under
~vpopmail/domains/
At the new target, I will simply restore the tar gzip file under the same
location.
Now, must I use the same UID/GID as in the old machine? What effect if I
use other UID/GID, the new one? What is this UID/GID used for?
Thanks!
