Hi Craig,

See the texinfo documentation, node "encryption". It describes the options
controlling the location of keyfiles, etc.

The syntax is described in the node "Mailutils configuration file"
(Programs/configuration/Mailutils configuration file). The file
should be located in $sysconfdir. If you configured Mailutils without
--prefix or --sysconfdir options, sysconfdir is /usr/local/etc.

The virtual domain users database has the same format as the system
/etc/passwd file. The database should be named after the user's domain
name and located in the deirectory specified by --virtual-passwd-dir
option. By default it is searched in the directory $sysconfdir/domain.

To use the virtual domain feature, the user should give his fully
qualified name (i.e. address@hidden) when authorizing. The user's
mailbox should be named $HOME/INBOX, where $HOME represents the user
home directory (retrieved from the domain database.

Sorry, what exactly do you mean?
