I'm suggesting that we could use directory names outside of the user namespace so that you could have bigdir support and one-character email addresses at the same time. It would be difficult to handle existing domains though... There would need to be a lot of directory renaming and updating of the user database to pull it off. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

That said, if you have the time to invest, I'd recommend attempting an upgrade to the latest 5.4 series. If you manually telnet to port 110 and try to log in (send 'user ' and 'pass ' replacing and with the actual email address and password) do you get the same error? If you temporarily move all of the files in Maildir/new to another location, can he log in (indicating that a single message is causing problems)? Try moving the mail to another location, deleting the user, re-creating the user and then moving the email back?

So, basically all that's required is a copy_directory function to replace the system call the "cp"? And you'll accept the patch? Yes. Absolutely. Maybe a configuration option for the location of the directory, but that isn't a huge deal. May I suggest: ~vpopmail/domains/$DOMAIN/.skel if it exists, else ~vpopmail/skel That way you can define a system wide default, and override it on a per domain basis.

Since a username can't have @ in it, it should be a safe directory character to use. That makes sense. David Winkler has sent me a version of vpopmail that uses a copytree function. When I get time, I'll apply the existing patch, include the copytree functionality and /skel and /@skel support and produce a new patch. Any preferences as to which source I should patch against?

[vchkpw] OpenEFilter doesn't like me anymore
Hi there! Last week I had to change the LDAP structure on my server on which only qmail was running, but qmail/clamd/spamassassin didn't like that at all :-( Till last week, vpopmail wrote all information to o=server Now also pureftpd has to find its users in this ldap directory and so I created ou=ftp and ou=mail. I reinstalled vpopmail with the new settings and everything works fine. I can fetch my mails with pop3/imap, send mails and vqadmin writes the data to ou=domain.com,ou=mail,o=server, but although spamd and clamd are running, both of them don't filter/scan anything :-( Can this really be because of the changes I made to the LDAP structure or do I have to search for my mistake somewhere else? Thanks and have a nice day Bernd
