Understood (and was what I suspected), so the 64 dollar question is: will the 
old users still have access to their original mbox and mail/ files? Checking 
out the sql code, the users created in the database would have a uid and a 
password separate from the PAM module... so where would their mbox files be 
kept or how would sendmail know where to keep the spool files?
