Hello world, I'm currently writing a mail-alias system "� la" iname.com (but just for a few domains), and I am asking myself which is the best way to do it. All the user info are stored in a sql database (alias and destination), and the PHP program should be able to create new alias and remove them when time's out. There will be probably a few thousand of aliases. * Problem 1 : how to administrate more than one domain with one UID My solution : using an /var/qmail/users/assign looking like that, everything owned by user "domains" : +a.omnis.ch-:a.omnis.ch:10000:10000:/home/domains/a.omnis.ch:-:: +b.omnis.ch-:b.omnis.ch:10000:10000:/home/domains/b.omnis.ch:-:: +c.omnis.ch-:c.omnis.ch:10000:10000:/home/domains/c.omnis.ch:-:: . * Problem 2 : how to create / delete the aliases : My proposition(not yet programmed) : simply creating and deleting .qmail-username in the /home/domains/MAILDOMAIN/ directories. I know it would work, but is it a good solution ? Isn't it possible to let qmail look in a file looking like this : ? --------- user1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] user2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... --------- It would be quite simpler to administrate. And if you already programmed such a thing, please contact me! I'd be glad to read your comments... Thanks in advance :-) Olivier PS: once the work will be finished, I'll put the source code online.
