You can use an optional parameter on the VUSER_MBXADD command to specify a password when the mailbox is created. If none is specified a random password is generated. You would then need to use VUSER_MBXPASS to set the password. I believe that this is a problem on 1.4.9 as the old password is always required to set a new password, and if it is randomly generated you won't know it. This is resolved on 1.4.10 by allowing requests with sufficient privilege (domain-owner, virtual server-owner, hosting server-owner) to enter any string as the old password and it will be accepted...
Tim PS - A tip for any work you do on the procmail recipes. Don't try sending mail from the admin account when testing. Many of the standard procmail macros designed to prevent autoresponses etc. to mail from automated/daemon sources will deem an account named admin, or root, to be automated and will not generate a response to them (to avoid causing a mail loop) - this has caught a lot of people out... > > One other thing I've just found: trying to set a passwd for admin > means that I > need to know the old password - of course I don't (except for the > encrypted > version in 'passwd'). How do I set this? Is vuser_mbxpass the only way? > > Lyn > > > ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List > -------------------------- > Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support > Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------- The freeVSD Support List -------------------------- Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=subscribe%20freevsd-support Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=unsubscribe%20freevsd-support Archives: http://freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
