I just noticed an error in that HOWTO. I forgot to mention the ip of the
interface popa3d is listening on is appended to the VIRTUAL_HOME_PATH.
So you'll have to set the virtual_domain_root_directory variable in the
add-popa3d-user script to VIRTUAL_HOME_PATH/127.0.0.1.
I'll have to fix that sometime soon.
