OK, let me put it this way.  If I was a committer and I went and pulled
out what you put in and put something in there that better suits my
personal needs, would my commit bit get pulled?

It simply would have been nice if you had left the old option intact and
let people choose if they want the integrated spamc options or the not
so integrated but much more flexible spamc options.

At the very least, can you document this in the CHANGELOG and README
files?  People besides you and your customers do use this code, that's why
the project is over at SF.

I agree Charles. I'll work with Jeremy on keeping the old code in
and adding the new code as a new option. I've always tried to keep
each release of qmailadmin (and vpopmail) backwardsly compatible.

 yea, but there's that old spam command stuff which is interfering with

Well, it's not really old.  In fact, I use it.

 I just wrote it to stomp on the old stuff since we have no customers
 actually using the --enable-spam-command stuff, and have high demand for
 being able to switch the spamassassin stuff on/off on a per user basis
 via qmailadmin.

Could you define stomp?  Does this mean I have to go undo all of this
everytime I update vpopmail/qmailadmin?  I also noticed in browsing cvs
for the vpopmail changes for spamassassin, there's a ton of changes, but
no documentation.  CHANGELOG, README, etc. remain untouched by kbo.

Who is currently making decisions like should we alter the existing
spamass support and where does one make their voice heard about such
matters?

Thanks,

Charles

the change I made basically removes the old --enable-spam-command
functionality.  If you have existing .qmail files that have it, it
should work fine.

 spamass support and where does one make their voice heard about such
 matters?

As someone who uses the old scheme, I'd say that I wouldn't like to have
my setup broken.  I personally don't like the idea of tying spamc into
vpopmail; I think letting the sysadmin choose their filtering method is
much more flexible.

Right now I have people able to turn spam filtering on/off in webmail, and
I just use the standard squirrelmail SA plugin so that they can alter
settings.

 Or should I try to have support for both?

Yes.  I think it's only fair that if you change something you leave a
configure flag around for those that don't want the new feature.

Thanks,

Charles

hi Jeremy,

thanks for your work :)
I think if you could create a web page, where change our spamassassin config
(like required_hits, or if you use dcc, pyzor, or razor, etc) only if we
check the enable_spam_command box, that would be nice :)

qmailadmin is a good tool for vpopmail, but will be better (in my opinion)
with spamassassin and tmda implementations.

thanks for your support and work, Jeremy
Regards
Andrea

that's in the works.  We had high demands for having the ability for a
user to be able to turn spamassassin on or off for their account, so
first thing's first.
