You are certainly correct, it was written for my own personal use. On
my system, I use vmailmgr which stores its passwd info in cdb files
owned by the user in their home dir... no way for a non-root process to
read them that I can think of. I think that is why Jeff asked about
the possibility of using some sort of SSL frontend which would be nice
to see.
Of course, if anyone else has methods for dealing with vmailmgr
usernames I'd be happy to hear them.
