[qmailadmin] Max forwards per account
Hi everyone, Why the MAX Forward To addresses per account that can I set by qmailadmin is 5 forwards ? Can I change it to (for ex. 20 forward addresses) ?? Thanks in Advance. Best Regards. Samir Noshy

Modify MAX_FORWARD_PER_USER in qmailadmin.h. Keep in mind that the list has to fit in 500 characters for other reasons. If you're forwarding to that many addresses, consider using an alias instead. It will be easier to manage. Or think about setting up a mailing list. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

[qmailadmin] max forwards
Hi all,
I think this is for Tom or Jeremy.
I agree that using a mailing list when the number of alii/forwards
exceeds some arbitrary number is a good thing; nonetheless, I've seen
questions about the maximum number of alii/forwards on this list several
times over the years. May I offer a suggestion?
The line numbers below refer to qmailadmin-1.2.0 (tarball is misnamed
qmailadmin-2.2.0.tar.gz)
In qmailadmin.h add this line:
#define MAX_FORWARDS 5
In user.c #916
change
while( tmpstr != NULL count 5) {
to
while( tmpstr != NULL count MAX_FORWARDS) {
IMHO this should make that constant easier for do-it-yourselfers to find
and modify.
Thanks again for a great product!
Mike Wright

I agree.
What about using the .qmailadmin-limits values for max forwards?

This is a good idea, but we would need to watch out for buffer
overflows. I think that the code assumes it can fit the entire lists
of forwards into an arbitrarily-sized buffer. It would be better to
have the size of the buffer based on MAX_FORWARDS * (MAX_ADDRESS_SIZE +
1).

Here are the lines that I think need to be changed to do that. (I'm not
a c prog'er so check my work ;)
The MAX_ADDRESS_SIZE was picked arbitrarily. I added 2 to it instead of
1 to accomodate the and the \n when calculating the NewBuf size.
These changes are against qmailadmin-1.2.0
qmailadmin.h
38a39,41
#define MAX_ADDRESS_SIZE 80
#define MAX_FORWARDS 5
user.c
367c367
static char NewBuf[156];
---
static char NewBuf[MAX_FORWARDS * (MAX_ADDRESS_SIZE + 2)];
744c744
static char NewBuf[156];
---
static char NewBuf[MAX_FORWARDS * (MAX_ADDRESS_SIZE + 2)];
916c916
while( tmpstr != NULL count 5) {
---
while( tmpstr != NULL count MAX_FORWARDS) {
Hope that's helpful.
