RE: qmail-popbull used w/ imap
Scott, you rock! I was just feeling good about myself because I figured out what imaplogin was passing along and was munging checkpassword to account for the slightly different file descriptor 3. Then would have been the fun of figuring out what imapd needed. It never hurts to really look close at code, though. Thanks so much for the follow up and to Russell I'll thank again for the popbull code. 8^) -- Michael Boyiazis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Architect, NetZero, Inc. -Original Message- From: Scott Gifford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 9:26 AM To: michael Cc: Russell Nelson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: qmail-popbull used w/ imap Russell Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: michael writes: This question I suppose is directed at Russell since he is the writer of qmail-popbull...

I had bulletins on my site, I simply create a shell script that hardlink the bulletin into the ~/Maildir/new of all users!

qmail-popbull used w/ imap
This question I suppose is directed at Russell since he is the writer of qmail-popbull... We're trying to get courier-imap running and the desire is to also have bulletin ability. Since qmail-popbull is called as part of tcpserver startup for qmail I'm hoping it can be inserted into the startup string for imap. Can anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't be able to be done? I'd check it out now, but am still working on getting checkpassword converted for use w/ courier-imap since it appears to need a few extra environment variables set. I'd rather not have to add that functionality into a new piece of code. Thanks, -- Michael Boyiazis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Architect, NetZero, Inc.
