 +[06] HOW DO I SETUP VHOST/VPM EMAIL ACCOUNTS WITH 'MKVPM'?
  
 +     Main reception and redirection is handled by the 'mkvpm' command. 
 +     This will allow you to create POP3 mail accounts for addresses 
 +     associated with your domain.  You will also be able to create
 +     aliases so that you can have typical addresses (like sales@, 
 +     info@, root@ .. et cetera) forward to another address or even
 +     your ARPA shell account.
 +
 +     Keep in mind, you must use 'mkvpm' before any email reception
 +     or redirection is to occur.
 +     
 +     'mkvpm' also lets you define a shared secret for SMTP authentication.  
 +      (SDF Supports the CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 and PLAIN AUTH Mechanisms)
 +
 +     Once you have used the 'mkvpm' command, system updates will
 +     incorporate your changes every 2 hours evenly. 
 +
 +     When you've created a new 'virtual pop3 mailbox' (ex user@domain.com)
 +     you can check your messages with these settings:
 +
 +     POP3 SERVER:  mail.freeshell.org
 +     POP3 USER:    user@yourdomain
 +     POP3 PASS:    yourpassword
 + 
 +     SMTP SERVER:  smtp.freeshell.org
 +     SMTP USER:    yourdomainname
 +     SMTP PASS:    secret
 +     AUTH TYPE:    MD5 Challenge-Response
 +
 +     By default you can have up to 50 VPMs associated with each
 +     domain you have VHOSTed with SDF.
 +
 +     'mkvpm' has six commands:
 +
 +     add - adds a new email address
 +     del - deletes an email address
 +     mod - modifies the POP3 password for an email address
 +     aka - toggles (on/off) an alias mapped to an email address
 +     set - creates an SMTP AUTH secret (mandatory for SMTP service)
 +     all - toggles (on/off) wildcard reception to an email address
 +
 +     Please note, aliases can not be deleted, they can only be toggled
 +     on or off with the 'aka' command.
 +
 +     It is also important to note that you can not define other aliases
 +     if you have wildcarding enabled.  
 +
 +     You can also list all of your mail files associated with your
 +     domain with the 'vpmstat' command.  This will list all files 
 +     whether they are active or inactive.
 +   
 +     Old or large mailboxes can be cleared out with the 'vpmclear' command.
 +
 +     If you wish to access VPM mailboxes via wm.sdf.org, follow
 +     these steps:
 +
 +     Click on 'options', then pop3 fetch mail.  Fill in the necessary
 +     information with your VPM username and password for the specific
 +     account you want to fetch.  Specify the folder you want the mail
 +     to go to, by default it goes to your INBOX, but you could have it
 +     go to a different folder.  Click 'add server'.  Now you can click
 +     on 'fetch' in the main menu at any time you want to check VPM mail.
 +
 +     ==============SETUP EXAMPLES FOR MACOS AND WINDOWS==============
 +
 +     To use SMTP AUTH with your VHOST or VPM membership, you will use
 +     the following information:
 +
 +     SMTP server:  'smtp.freeshell.org' or 'mail.sdf-eu.org'
 +     SMTP LOGIN:   The domain name for your VHOST or VPM membership
 +     SMTP PASSWD:  Your secret which you have set with 'mkvpm'
 +
 +     EXAMPLES for a VPM mailbox of 'bob@bob.freeshell.org' with a
 +     password of 'bob' and an SMTP AUTH secret of 'FUBAR':
 +
 +     Apple OS X w/ Mail.APP:
 +
 +     Start the Mail.APP program.
 +     Open preferences (CMD-,)
 +     Click on + to add a new account.  Fill in the followign:
 +
 +             Account Type:  POP

 +                 Password:  FUBAR

 +     Microsoft OutLook and LookOut Express

 +     Open LookOut (or LookOut Distress)
 +     Click TOOLS-->ACCOUNTS-->ADD-->MAIL
 +
 +     pop3:  mail.freeshell.org
 +     smtp:  mail.freeshell.org
 +
