Take a moment to admire the density of the subject line. I worked hard at it. Now, the point of the announcement: I know I can't be the only one running qmail and qpopper together. I also know I can't be the only one getting sick of the tedious procedure involved in installing a new bulletin. So I did something about it. I wrote qmail-qpopbull, a pair of programs which automate the job. Now you just have to go through one more tedious install procedure - my package - and afterward your PHB and/or clueless client will be able to maintain his own bulletin directory using nothing but his mailreader of choice. >From the README: --------------- This package is designed to provide a PHB-friendly front end to installing qpopper bulletins on a qmail server. It operates under the same principle as a moderated ezmlm list: there is a submission address, and submissions are sent to moderators for approval, with a return address containing a random string which is used to recognize a valid confirmation. --------------- I have not yet put this into Real Use yet, so if you're really paranoid you should wait a while, but otherwise, get it from http://defiant.cqc.com/~pacman/projects/qmail-qpopbull/ I'm not on this list any more (I'm down to 2 lists and getting off another one soon! Life is good), so reply directly to me if you have something to say, or if you want to be notified of future bugfixes and improvements, because I don't intend to annoy the list again. -- Alan Curry
