[qmailadmin] File Error 6 and IP addresses

[Mike Sharp]

Using my ISP's installation of QmailAdmin, I get File error 6 errors.  
Occasionally I get an error telling me I've already logged on.  I've tracked 
these problems down, and found out that since I'm accessing the interface 
through a proxy, my IP address is probably changing, and QmailAdmin uses 
this as part of it's authentication scheme.

Given that many people these days are accessing the internet through a proxy 
(and if they aren't, they probaby should), I have several questions:

1. Why the authentication based on IP address?

2. Is there any way to turn this off, so that a standard SSL session and 
cookie is all that's needed to authenticate?

3. Are there any other issues to implementing #2?

Regards,
Mike Sharp
