Hi again,
Further to my email a few days ago regarding the location that qpopper
places the temp files...
1. Until I find a better solution I have used config file commands
to place the temporary files into a specified directory:
set cache-dir = /var/tmp/.pop
set temp-dir = /var/tmp/.pop
We now have thousands of .user.cache files in this directory so
I would still like to know if the behaviour can be changed!
2. The various server mode commands don't seem to work as expected
Can someone tell me if I am missing something or is it a bug please?
These commands in the qpopper config file DO work:
set server-mode = true
set group-no-server-mode = staff
set group-no-server-mode = users
set group-no-server-mode = ftponly
(ie. all users get server mode except staff, users, ftponly)
These commands DO NOT work:
set server-mode = false
set group-server-mode = ppp
(ie. all users, regardless of group get non-server mode, and yes the
group is valid and I have tried others)
Regards and thanks, Peter Vaskess
