[qmailadmin] Possible additions
Hello, We are finally getting around to rolling out the new QmailAdmin/Vpopmail to all of our clients and we have received some suggestions on the QmailAdmin interface. I wanted to run them by the people on the list to see if these are features that others would like to see or not. If they are, I will release a patch. The first feature is the ability for a non-postmaster user to be able to see their disk usage when the log into the QmailAdmin interface. When I had wrote the quota patch for version 1.0.4, I had included this functionality along with the other quota code. Most of the quota code is intact in 1.2.1, but it seems that the non-postmaster section of the interface was dramatically changed and the ability for the user to see their quota usage was removed. It would be very easy to add it back in. I'm thinking it would go nicely under the present Quota field and would be present only on the non-postmaster section of the interface, since the postmaster interface adequately shows the disk usage. The second feature is just a simple modification. It has been brought to my attention that some people do not like putting in NOQUOTA when they wish a user to not have a quota set. I had chosen to use NOQUOTA in the 1.0.4 patch out of pure laziness, so I take full blame. It would be just as easy to have the users just leave the quota field blank for no quota. It's a minor thing, but I could see how it would get annoying to have to type in NOQUOTA when leaving it blank makes better sense. The last feature would be to clean up my old quota conversion functions and have them allocate their own memory, which could then be released once the calling code is done with it. Since it's only a script, this isn't critical, but it would be cleaner. I meant to clean it up at some point, then thought somebody else would, so it seems time. Let me know what people think of these proposed changes and whether anyone outside of our network would like to see/use them. -- Justin Hopper [EMAIL PROTECTED] UNIX Systems Engineer BSDHosting.net Hosting Division of Digital Oasys Inc. http://www.bsdhosting.net

Please post your patch to the SourceForge tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=6691atid=306691 I am in the process of releasing a program right now, so it may be a week or two before I have time to merge it with 1.3.0.

The first feature is the ability for a non-postmaster user to be able to see their disk usage when the log into the QmailAdmin interface. I have had this question too, great. The second feature is just a simple modification. It has been brought to my attention that some people do not like putting in NOQUOTA when they wish a user to not have a quota set. I had chosen to use NOQUOTA in the 1.0.4 patch out of pure laziness, so I take full blame. It would be just as easy to have the users just leave the quota field blank for no quota. It's a minor thing, but I could see how it would get annoying to have to type in NOQUOTA when leaving it blank makes better sense. INHO leaving this field blank should default to the default quota. Anything else would mean extra work for the postmasters, as 100% of the users use the default quota. In my opinion a N instead of NOQUOTA in this field, would be nice for no quota. Another thing the postmasters have mentioned is the location of the quota field. They think it should be placed below the real name field. They never put anything in the quota field, so this would save them a TAB. One last thing, which I think is quite funny. Some users have complained about not being able to log in to Qmailadmin. As the default User account in the login window is postmaster, they think they are about to log in as postmaster for their own account, supplying only their password. Luckily there are not many users who are this clueless ;-) Personally I think it would be more logical with the domain name as the uppermost field in the login window. I have also had requests for a link to the help-files in the add mailinglist window. -- JKvalvaag
