Since rmuser is a shell-script, you could easily change it to suit your
needs. Look at the function rm_mail (lines 79-95), and change
'${login}.pop' to '.${login}.pop' in line 89,90 and line 92.
A more elegant approach would be to duplicate lines 89-93 and add the
dot before the login in the second instance, changeing " pop3" to "
qpopper" as well.
If you make this change, do not forget to re-apply it after doing a
installworld. :-)
