Yep. Looks like whoever added the Warning message code needed to ifdef it with the big user dir define. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vadddomain test.com testcom > [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vdeldomain test.com > Warning: Failed to delete dir_control for test.com > > Even though /home/cust/vpopmail/domains/test.com is gone, > there is a .dir-control file in /home/cust/vpopmail/domains.

Looks like the only way to stop domains from being hashed would be in 2 steps: rm -rf /home/vpopmail/domains/.dir-control vadddomain domainname If the /home/vpopmail/domains/.dir-control file does not exist then it creates a default one and puts the domain in /home/vpopmail/domains. So you can fake it out by deleteing the .dir-control every time. Also looks like we need to fix that warning message.
