There is a patch on SourceForge to add skel directory support to vpopmail, but we decided not to include it since it uses a system call to 'cp' to copy the files -- it would be better to do the copying within vpopmail itself.
Tom,
Can you you point me to a link to this patch - I can't seem to find it on vpopmail.sf.net.
