RE: Next 5.0 features
The only thing I wish for not on the list is integrated (lightweight) filtering. The current filtering patch would be great if it worked a little better (it's got some issues, alas), but anything else like it would be great too. And of course, qmailadmin support so users can set their own filters. Ron
RE: Next 5.0 features
Something that I was wishing for a while ago... (and maybe I won't have to keep patching vpopmail every time I upgrade!!): Automatic creation of maildir's on receipt of email if an account exists in the authentication database. This enables any custom (possibly remote) administration software to administer mail accounts via a SQL database only and not have to worry about interfacing with vpopmail API's etc... Deletion is not so time critical and can be implemented by setting a flag in the user's auth entry. A cron script can be set to run periodically and delete these maildirs. The only other implication is that POP will complain that the directory doesn't exist if a user check their mail before receiving any. This can be resolved by automatically mailing a welcome message when the account is created (or by patching the POP daemon). Wouldn't anyone else find this useful? Some people were enquiring recently about PHP API support. This modification could make linking with the vpopmail API unnecessary as everything (authentication, adding/deleting accounts, adding/deleting domains??) can be done through SQL. --Richard
