[qmailadmin] Mass import of ezmlm subscribers via qmailadmin?

2004-02-13 Thread qmadmin
I was taking a look at qmailadmin 1.2.0, hoping it would have a mass 
subscriber import feature like that found in ezmlm-web.  Are there any plans 
in the near future for adding that into the qmailadmin ezmlm interface or am 
I just overlooking it somehow?  I'd love to get away from using ezmlm-web 
and stick with qmailadmin for everything.  I can't force the cmd-line on my 
users...everyone want's GUI's ;)

It's an open feature request on SourceForge (http://qmailadmin.sf.net/).

The tricky part is in passing the addresses to ezmlm-sub in a way that 
we can put a screen back up showing the addresses that weren't added.  
It would really suck to try adding hundreds of addresses, only to have 
QmailAdmin reply that there was an error and it didn't know how many 
addresses were added.

Define near future.  :)

 1.3.0 will probably have that feature.  When it will become stable is 
unknown, but probably measured in weeks, or months.  I just submitted a 
patch for vpopmail's cdb handling, that needs to be completed for all 
the databases, and there may be more.

A patch against 1.2.1 would certainly find its way into 1.3.0 if someone 
wants it bad enough.

wouldn't it be possible to pass one address at the time, simply in a 
loop? The adresses could be entered per file-upload or per textarea (I 
would prefer to offer both).
I aren't worked into the code, but I can't think of any big problems 
(ok, performance could be better, but if somebody puts his complete 
spaminglist with 5 million subscribers in there then we can't help any 
more ;-))

I really should get into the code sometimes, because I need idn-support 
for domains quite soon - with libidn there shouldn't be a big problem to 
solve that (only the GUI and input-fields have to be changed, the 
backend gets only the punycode-encoded domainnames.
