[qmailadmin] quota patch ( Jorge Valdes)

2002-11-20 Thread Jesse Guardiani
Howdy list,

I JUST signed up. I had to! I saw in the archive for yesterday that Jorge 
Valdes had created a manager patch for qmailadmin.

Where can I find this patch? Has anyone besides Jorge successfully deployed 
it?

I've gotta have this thing!

Thanks,

Absolutely. I definately agree. However, I'm amazed and confused as to why
this wasn't implemented a long time ago. I would think that this would be
sought-after code by ISPs (and... really anyone with many domains). Then
again, I don't suppose that many ISPs have the gumption to run this kind of
software, eh?

rant Man, it sure is purty, isn't it? I've never seen so many separate
applications communicating in harmony before. The whole
qmail/vpopmail/everything-else setup is very impressive. (I just installed
and created ground-up documentation (for a SOURCE install, not a package
install like the toaster pages. It came out to about 30 pages with full
comments) for the first time this last week on FreeBSD) I suppose that the
distributed nature of the install is also it's primary weekness though. If
one application becomes un-supported and broken, the whole thing could die.
/rant

Anyway, back to the subject at hand:

I'll be running the advantages/disadvantages of both the Jorge patch and the
unmodified version by my manager before we put this beastie in production.

I'm still interested in acquiring this patch though. I want to review the
 code and see how it's implemented.

How does one submit features for release in new versions around here?

Thanks,

 not hard-coded yes or no (and I disagree with the approach
 taken in the patch)  I'm also of the believe that there are
 two quotas, per user and per domain, which leads down the trail
 of allow them to set any quotas on a per-user basis as the
 end-user manager wants, and the per-domain quota should
 not be editable by anyone except the system administrator (not
 even the postmaster).

 I should have the patch ready for 5.3.11 shortly.

Brian,

I agree with you 100% this is not the best way to go about it, but (and
there always is) I needed a quick and dirty way to allow this funcionality
for a system I have in production, and after looking at the code this was a
simple (1/2 day coding/testing) solution to my problem.

I would be glad to help with coding and/or ideas for this new API. I would
like to know what *alot* of other information is :)

Jorge Valdes.
