there is a cgi for tmda that does all that for me, I just need qmailadmin to
let the settings be and not remove them.

I understand this.


I never have used qmailadmin in
anyway for editing settings to the .qmail files for tmda because of the nice
cgi that comes with tmda. I have never had a problem with qmailadmin
removing
my tmda settings from the .qmail files, but I also have not upgraded now
that
qmailadmin will remove this stuff.

What version are you using?


What I'm saying is that versions 1.0.13 through 1.0.24 may have been "good" in that they didn't remove your tmda settings. Those versions are "bad" in that they allow any user to put possibly malicious settings into their .qmail file.

The proper solution to all of this is to write new code to write out the .qmail file. It will need to read in the old .qmail file, perhaps copying TMDA settings to a tmp.qmail file, then all of the new settings, and finally replacing .qmail with tmp.qmail.

At the same time, we'll probably replace the code that parses .qmail files since (as I recall), it couldn't handle the autoreponder line coming at the end of the file.
