RE: [vchkpw] Change Password Script
Anyone willing to help on this? Regards, David Choo -Original Message- From: David Choo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 5:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] Change Password Script I know this has been asked millions of times. I've searched the archives but I found nothing on it. I'm currently running vpopmail 5.2.1 with qmailadmin. Many of my customers are changing their password via qmailadmin, but I've gathered feedback that they would prefer to be able to change password without login in. Something like that for forms. == Email Address Old Password New Password Confirm New Password. == I've searched high and low, and found nothing on it. My vpopmail setup is currently using CDB, and to convert to MySQL takes time as I would need ALL my users to login. Considering the number of inactive accounts I have, that might take some months down the road. As such, is there anyone kind enough to guide me on this? Regards, David Choo
Re: [vchkpw] domain quotas query
so gee, did i really stump the stars on this one? nobody out there has converted to domain quotas?

(hope that makes sense) 2. when setting the new domainquota, does it accept the quota value identically to the user quotas? the example in README.quotas simply says to add for example quota 50 to .qmailadmin-limits. if i have a domain with 20 users, 50meg quota per user, and 5000 message quota per user, would that mean i'd enter quota 10S,10C ?? i presume that's not right (the math notwithstanding!) - i would presume that the domain quota is only for disk usage, not message counts. true? 3. when implementing domain quotas - does it automatically change how the domain quota is interpreted in vqadmin? if i set the quota there, will that then become the domain quota, or is that field interpreted only as the user's default quota? 4. the example shown from README.quota also differs from the format of an existing .qmailadmin-limits file on my system, e.g. cat .qmailadmin-limits maxpopaccounts: 51 maxaliases: 51 maxforwards: 51 maxautoresponders: 51 maxmailinglists: 51 default_quota: 1S,5000C is it true i'd add the domain quota as quota xxx rather than quota: xxx ? lots of questions. sorry. hope i'm not retreading already answered stuff, but i'm a continuous subscriber for a long time, and i don't recall seeing these issues brought up. thanks.

[vchkpw] redirecting email using fetchmail
Hi I have an account with my upstream ISP, which accepts any mail in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] - all will work), I download the mail using fetchmail, and I've setup vpopmail, and qmail+mysql on my LAN. On my LAN, I can setup virtual domains and virtual users for the domains. What I would like to know is, how can I forward email downloaded via fetchmail, that was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], yet, [EMAIL PROTECTED] must goto [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? I looked at procmail, but this doesn't seem to work since I have Maildir format mailboxes, and all the users are virtual users, they don't really exist in /etc/passwd Any help / pointers are appreciated Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse.

You'd just have to call qmailadmin with a special URL, and it would pop up with a very simple page for changing password. It's in my todo list for the 1.1 development series of qmailadmin. Once we release a stable version based on the current 1.0.25, I'll look into doing it. If someone wants to design the page, perhaps in the same style as the current qmailadmin pages, that would make my work easier. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester
