+.SH "NAME"
+qmail-vmailuser \- recipient maildir validation
+
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+.I [homedir]
+.I [-C]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+is a maildir verification PAM supporting
+.I VMailMgr
+and
+.I Vpopmail
+users for virtual domains.
+Invoked via
+.BR qmail-smtpd 's
+recipient mechanism, it checks the
+existence of the recipient directory
+for the provisioned virtual users in
+.IR SQMAIL/control/virtualusers .
+
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+follows
+.BR checkpassword 's
+interface specification evaluating the
+SMTP forwarding path (RCPT TO:) taken from
+discriptor 3 with a length of max 128 bytes.
+
+The forwarding path
+.I vuser@domain
+is tokenized to determine the
+virtual user in
+.I SQMAIL/control/virtualusers
+given by
+.I domain
+in the first step and then validating for
+.I vuser
+the existance of (v)user's mail directory
+in lower case while substituting dots by colons.
+.SH "USAGE"
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+is called as PAM from
+.BR qmail-smtpd 's
+control file
+.IR SQMAIL/control/recipients :
+
+.EX
+ domain|bin/qmail-vmailuser
+ *|bin/qmail-vmailuser /homedir -C
+.EE
+
+No specific settings are required to support
+either
+.I VMailMgr
+or
+.IR Vpopmail ,
+except for the
+.I homedir
+and perhaps the option
+.I -C
+evaluating
+.I vuser
+in case respect mode.
+Since
+.I homedir
+defaults mostly to
+.IR /home ,
+this argument can be omitted.
+.SH "SECURITY"
+For successfull operation
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+requires to stat
+.IR vuser 's
+directory though without reading
+it's actual contents. Due to
+restrictions given by
+.IR Vpopmail ,
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+needs to belong to
+.I vpopmail:vchkpw
+or gnerally to be
+root-owned and 'sticky'.
+.SH "RETURN CODES"
+If for the provided
+.I vuser@domain
+the user directory does not exist
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+exits 1.
+If
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+is misused, it may instead exit 2.
+If there is a temporary problem,
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+exits 111.
+In case
+.B qmail-vmailuser
+can't read
+.I SQMAIL/control/recipients
+it exits 110.
