vpopadmin
Very neat! go to souceforge and have a look at 'vpopadmin'. I want to implement the ezmlm/idx support but am involved too much in job related things currently. so far, 'vpopadmin' looks brilliant and works fine. when ezmlm/idx support and some minor enhancements are added, this is a neat administration package for vpopmail. What about to port qmailadmin to php? why ? vpopadmin is php based and much .. er .. whatever :-) Holger

Catchall Account set to Forward: How to fix?
Okay. Got a little unique problem here. One of the users want to set up his catch all account to forward all emails to outside email account. But it seems when that is setup, all emails that does not match with any valid email account in teh domain get delivered into the josh account, which is set to be forwarded. So...how do we fix that problem so that if a person set the account as catchall, and also have it set to be forwarded?

Re: e-mail size
Hi Bill: I did it, the problem was that the number to put inside databytes was not in bytes. I wanted 1MB limit so i put the number 10 in databytes. It is multiplied by 100.000. Other doubt, can i set the e-mail size per domain? Because when i send a big e-mail to someone it is delivered back to me and i have the same quota as the first user so i don't get the message error, is there a way to qmail send only an error message instead of delivering all the big mail?

Qmailadmin allows deletion of default mail account
Currently qmailadmin will allow a user to specify a default (catch all) account and then delete that default mailbox. This of cource causes vdelivermail to crash when attempting to deliver messages. This could be fixed in one of two ways. a) don't allow a default account to be deleted b) if the default account get's deleted, set the default to bounce-no-mailbox Matt

RE: starting use mysql
Then how about restructuring the add controls like TinyDNS (part of DJBDNS). It has add-alias and add-host commands to add things to a text file, which it checks for validity, and then after that, you can type make to build the database. This would make adding groups of users easy without making the tools any harder to use.

Re: Encryption of vpasswd?
I've tested converting over encrypted passwords from /etc/passwd into vpasswd files. You can even use the vconvert program vconvert -e -c domainname will convert /etc/passwd users into domainname with cdb module If you are using mysql you would either want -e -s or -e -l ( -s = small site (default) -l = large site (--enable-large-site=y)) I've tested this conversion program on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD. They all seemed to work with no problem. Ken Jones Alex Hathaway wrote: How is the encryption of vpasswd, password field done?

I know vpopmail is designed for virtual domains but I am trying to use it for my main mail server as well. I have around 8,000 customers with accounts. Would qmail-pop3 be better to use or will this do the trick? The users directory is for backward compatiblity. I highly recommend against using it. If you want to setup a default domain use --enable-default-domain=your.default-domain.com Then add the domain normally with vadddomain domainname. When you add users make sure you add them with thier full email address vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stick with --enable-default-domain and you'll be all set. Ken Jones
