Currently it is archiving both the incoming and outgoing mails in same ID. I would like to implement a archiving system like every incoming mails should be forwarded to separate id, same for outgoing mails it should be forwarded to separate id. Is it possible to archive the bounce mails in a separate id. Have anyone tried this before, please help me in this. With Regards Vinay See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you.

[vchkpw] backend migration 5.5 vs 5.4.28
Matt, Thanks for all your work on vpopmail. I'm working on bringing vpopmail-toaster (part of the http://www.qmailtoaster.com suite) up to the current vpopmail, while at the same time adding ldap support (vpopmail-toaster presently uses mysql exclusively, at vertion 5.4.17). The plan is to allow for either mysql or ldap as the backend, with a migration path (conversion script) for going from mysql to ldap. What would you recommend as an upgrade path? Get to 5.5 before adding ldap, or add ldap before jumping to 5.5? Your input about considerations either way will be appreciated. Thanks. -- -Eric 'shubes' !DSPAM:4a8ac58a32718170176529!

There are probably a few folks in the toaster community who would be happy to test 5.5 with mysql as long as I can give them a binary rpm to install with.

Not a big deal using getpwnam(). Also if you run nscd daemon,
password/group file lookups get cached
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/nscd-1m?a=view
Also using getpwnam() function allows you to use hooks like NSS (Name
Service Switch) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_Service_Switch
In Unix-like operating systems, the Name Service Switch (NSS) allows
Unix configuration databases to be provided by different sources,
including local files (for
example: /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/hosts), LDAP, and other sources.
In case it can be used, attaching a function GetVpopID() which I used
with vpopmail in my early days of using vpopmail. It uses static
variables to cache the uid/gid.
