Re: [qmailadmin] question about qmailadmin feature
The easy way would be to setup basic authentication under Apache Location /cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi AuthType Basic AuthName MailList AuthUserFile /web/hosts/www.somedomain.com/etc/users Require valid-user /Location The users file is created with htpasswd. I know this works in the web server configuration files, and may work in .htaccess files. While that would be easy, I would contest that it pales in comparison to systems where mailling list subscribers have full blown user accounts with passwords. Then you can have a notion of logging in, in order to check the necessary access required to view the archive. Mailman is one such example - though offhand I don't know of a way to make it work with QmailAdmin. That's a project for another day. The example as written isn't bad for a small group where the mailing list users are finite. When you start dealing with customers who are allowed to make their own mailing lists, and want to protect their archives, things get more complex.

[qmailadmin] question about qmailadmin feature
Trying to figure something out and I hope maybe someone can help me out. I'm running a mail server setup similar to the one described at http://shupp.org/toaster/ Vpopmail / qmailadmin / ezmlm / qmail /etc .. I been running some mailing lists on my server for sometime now andI haven't had anyone needing the Message Archive support via ezmlm-cgi until recently... I got ezmlm-cgi to work on my server and all but the archive retrieval is open to anyone., no matter if I changethe setting under qmailadmin / mailing list settings for that listto 'limited to subcribers" or "limited to moderators". Anyone have any clues why this might be happening and a possible fix..as i would truelly like to get the Archive retrieval via web access to work properly.. Thanks Jonathan Decker

The limits only apply to retrieving archived messages via email. I have not personally set up ezmlm-cgi, so I don't know if it includes any options for limiting access. Since it can't authenticate someone as a subscriber or moderator to the list, access limits are up to you. I've updated the mailing list interface to make it clear that the limits don't apply to ezmlm-cgi. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
