In that particular case, it's not at all clear to me how other tools that would touch that file (like qmailadmin) would be taught to not alter the call to dovecot_lda.  I imagine it would get munged everytime a user went to setup a vacation message or forward.

Hi,

I think that a possibile solutions could be a configuration where 
vpopmail is configured to call maildrop and maildrop "sent" the messagge 
to an LMTP server (Postfix) that use dovecot LDA to delivery the email 
in the Maildir. LMTP is fast and can also be used with Dovecot Director, 
Director is needed when you have a shared storage and more than one 
POP/IMAP server.

 From the qmail/vpopmail point of view this configuration will be 
transparent.

 From the maildrop point of view is necessary find the rigth "script" 
(email -> pipe to LMTP)  and insert in /etc/maildroprc.

Could be an idea?
