+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: - -
-Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an interpreter, -such as perl or java +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:
