VMailMgr (short for Virtual MAIL ManaGeR) is a package of programs designed to manage
multiple domains of mail addresses and mailboxes on a single host. It co-operates with
qmail for mail delivery and program control.
VMailMgr is:
A series of utilities for managing virtual domains which include a password checking interface for qmail which
replaces the usual checkpassword, and an authentication module
for Courier IMAP, that provide access to the virtual mailboxes by one of
three methods:
- IP-based virtual server access (invisible to the POP3 user)
- username-based access (username-virtualuser)
- hostname-based access (virtualuser@virtual.host or virtualuser:virtual.host)
You should use it if:
You prefer to have each domain controlled by a seperate username,
allowing the use of system quotas and better security

Thanks to Bruce Guenter for VMailMgr and the core of this HOWTO. Thanks to Mike Bell,
who always seems to have the answers to my questions. Finally, thanks to all those on the
vmailmgr@lists.em.ca mailing list who have helped me, or asked the same
stuff so many times that I had to write this to stop the repeat questions.
