NAME
       vmailmgr - a package to manage virtual mailboxes and aliases

DESCRIPTION
       This document describes the vmailmgr package which contains, among
       other things, a virtualizing password checking interface for
       qmail-pop3d.  It is intended as a drop-in replacement for the standard
       checkpassword utility with several significant enhancements.

       One of the goals of building this package was to provide a usable
       virtual mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into
       qmail as possible.  This means that this package attempts to use the
       same control files that qmail uses to determine if a user is logging in
       via a virtual host.  It also implies that all programs should be
       compiled for two reasons:

       1.      Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an
               interpreter, such as perl or java

       2.      There is no need for an interpreter to reside on the system
               once the code is compiled, eliminating concerns that such an
               interpreter could be used as an exploit in itself.
