I'd have to copy the virtualdomains file, stop the rsync, and update DNS so the backup had the lowest MX record. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

I run vpopmail 5.4.17-6 (debian package from http:// wiki.debian.iuculano.it/quick_howto) You've got the wrong AUTH patch to qmail-smtpd. Use the one from vpopmail contrib. A long time ago I had considered modifying vchkpw to try swapping the challenge and response if the first pw check failed, but I don't think I ever got around to trying it. That would allow vchkpw to work with both the old patch (which passed the challenge and response in the wrong order) and the current one. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/
