It actually works like that. It adds the entries into a vpasswd file
with the same format as /etc/passwd. Then it creates the vpasswd.cdb
file from the vpasswd contents.
You can tell vadduser to not recompile the vpasswd.cdb file by giving
it the -s option
vadduser -s [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Alternativly if you are using the vpopmail library you can set the
global flag
NoMakeIndex = 1;
This flag is checked in
int make_vpasswd_cdb(char *domain)
if ( NoMakeIndex == 1 ) return(0);
Otherwise it continues on to build the .cdb file.
What might be interesting is to profile the make_vpasswd_cdb code
to see if there is any way to improve it's performance.
