The problem I see is you have to make sure the welcome message is delivered regardless how the account is created. The only way I could see to do that was to modify the underlying library.
Ok, list newbie question. How do you guys prefer I submit a patch? Just post it here as an attachment or inline? put it someplace else?

I've been interested in this for quite a while, but it has always met a lot of resistance here. In the past, this feature has been regarded as frivolous because it could be accomplished with a wrapper. I disagree with this and would welcome your patch.

Subject: [vchkpw] any interest in a welcome message patch?
It seems to me that when a users email account is created a "welcome message" should automatically be delivered to the account with key information like where to get support, etc.
I've hacked up vpopmail.c vadduser() in 5.3.30 to deliver a message contained in /home/vpopmail/etc/welcome.msg when an account is added. I based it on code in vpopbull.c.
Right now it's a hack, but if there's any interest in the patch I can clean it up. It would be cool if it could be included as a configure option --with-welcome-msg=...
