if vpopmail is complied with disable-many-domains its behavior changes
and it creates different table for every virtual domain with the
following structure.
  --disable-many-domains     Creates a table for each virtual domain
instead of storing all users in a single table. Only valid for MySQL
and PostgreSQL

thanks for the suggestion, i did made a table to store the status of
password and force change password is working fine for the backend.
i.e. password and password status are getting updated. but when a user
is forced to change the password, after changing the password the
force password change screen reappears (one with red header saying
"change password and no cancel button) without any update/success
message.

is this the default behavior ?
