No. The vmailmgr daemon is only needed for some of the administration tasks when using the web interface. Great!

Re: qmail-pop3 and vmailmgr
1) Sounds good, I'll use the real, canonical name 2) I didn't realize the password replacement could do all that work by itself. It apparently doesn't need the vmailmgrd daemon to run? 3) I agree that the pop3 clients can be configured to leave things on the server. It's reassuring to know that my users are in fact able to switch between webmail/pop clients. I've looked at the vmailmgr archives for all of June (I didn't seem to find an archive for prior to June). They have very few posts compared to this list and not many replies to the posts.

qmail-pop3 and vmailmgr
I am planning a qmail/pop3/vmailmgr/courier-imap/squirrelmail installation (with almost no user logins allowed on this host) and would appreciate guidance on one particular point at this time: In Life with Qmail, the following setup script is recommended: = 4. Create a /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run script containing: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ FQDN /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 where FQDN is the fully qualified domain name of the POP server you're setting up, e.g., pop.example.net. = FQDN is very clear if the Unix host is serving a single domain. However, what is recommended if the host is serving multiple virtual domains? I understand that this setup script is going to monitor port 110, but how will it know how to distribute from port 110 to the various virtual domains? I've been going through the www.vmailmgr.org documentation, but am thoroughly confused. Am I correct in thinking that the same user is going to be able to dynamically choose whether to download the email or leave the email on the server, depending on whether they use an MUA that downloads (for example, Microsoft Outlook) or whether they use a webmail MUA (for example, squirrelmail); and they can simply choose to use one MUA one day and the other MUA a few minutes later in mix and match style?
