Does it create a text file, or a hash file? Mine creates a hash database, so that sendmail can read it directly. The popdb program is run from qpopper when a user authenticates, and also runs from crontab every 10 minutes to flush exired entries from the hash database. It's fairly efficient. >I use that for the pop-before-smtp feauture in sendmail. That's the package >I am looking for; does yours do that? yes.
