[vchkpw] User-managed mailing lists in virtual hosting environment?
I have inherited a qmail installation, and we now have a fair amount of (customer-visible) infrastructure that appears to depend on qmail. Thus, when the decision was made that we needed to be able to support customer-managed mailing lists, I poked around a bit and found that (apparently) ezmlm is the usual mailing list manager intended for use in a qmail environment. Since the vast bulk of our clients (both current and prospective) are not especially proficient with UNIX or the arcana of mailing lists, and since there are (FreeBSD) ports of ezmlm-idx and ezmlm-web handy, I installed those. I have been customizing things in an attempt to make the result more likely to be usable for the intended audience, but I'm seeing things that look to me to be a bit awkward to explain (let alone implement with any semblance of security). And there are some things (ezmlm-web's help, for example) that do not seem to function at all. Since this is my first foray into ezmlm ( derivatives), I don't know whether this is to be expected or not. Complicating things (apparently) is that our mail server is separate from the Web server on which we provide clients' virtual hosts: I am hoping to be able to allow a customer to create (say) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (but ezmlm-web appears to want to use the canonical hostname for the mail server as the RHS of the email address). Is there some other choice I might plausibly make to support such lists? Thanks, david -- David H. Wolfskill [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll need to wait 'til my boss is back to see if it looks right, but so far, it seems to be a better fit than ezmlm-web. Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Peace, david -- David H.

Re: [vchkpw] How to modify an email adress under vpopmail

Can i do that without vdeluser and then vadduser ? Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is when i make: vdeluser [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED], i lose a message in the aacounts. Right. I had occasion to do tis sort of thing (for the first time) just yesterday. Using the above example, what I did was: * vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] * rm -fr domains/test.com/alain-ab * mv domains/test.com/alain domains/test.com/alain-ab * vdeluser [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was subsequently informed that the move went well, so that would seem encouraging. :-} (Actually, I then needed to make [EMAIL PROTECTED] an alias that pointed to the (new) [EMAIL PROTECTED] and someone else @test.com. But that was because of the specific requirements I had for the case in point.) Peace, david -- David H. Wolfskill [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [vchkpw] indirect reasons for 5.7.1? - behavior confirmed

I inquired about that but got no reply yet. Just a wild guess, but perhaps because the recipient addresses in question were not being handled by the SMTP server in question. Peace, david -- David H.

Why not alias it to /dev/null?
That's my wish too. But, I think we are able to alias a TO: but not
FROM:.
Right; I had managed to twist the roles in what's left of my mind; sorry. :-{
I do know how I could do it with sendmail milter-regex, but I doubt
that would help you.
Sorry,

[vchkpw] IMP, vpopmail, and v-users changing passwords?
So... someone prior to my tenure here set up vpopmail and IMP, but it seems that the current implementation (as he left it) only provides support for UNIX users changing their passwords -- not virtual users. I see where there appears to be some intended support for this, but it looks to me as if that presumes that the Web server is running on the same machine as the mail server -- which (of course!) is not the case for us. Would anyone care to provide a pointer to a hint for how to accomplish allowing virtual users to change their own passwords? We're using vpopmail 5.3.16, horde 2.2.1, and imp 3.1.3 in a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE environment. Thanks, david -- David H. Wolfskill [EMAIL PROTECTED]
