Ok here's something I found while trying to figure out something else :
1)Go to the vqadmin add domain form. 2) Change all text fields with zeros in to either a positive number or blank ( unlimited ??? ). 3) log into qmail admin as postmaster. Does it look more like what you're used to? for an administrator? What I found was that evne thought postmaster isn't labeled as domain admin in vqadmin it still _is_ the domain admin. The reason it seemed it wasn't (at least for me) was that with those fields set to zero it disabled them and therefore had no link in qmail admin. There for it looked pretty much exactly the same as a reguler joe user menu. Add a test domain (real or fake ) as outlined above and click on the link to see if you can add an account. Please let me know if this was your problem also.

If so it could be done without much fuss with the modification in the domain.c file in the link above. Just add the command to the vqadmin_add_domain.sh script and it's done. Sorry I havn't done a patch yet. But it's pretty easy to do it by hand since the code you add is only like 15 lines.
