See my previous post regarding this topic.
The patch I included does exactly this and I am using it successfully.

RE: File Error 6 (qmailadmin)

[Lu Vo]

This problem is very likely caused by some ISP rapidly switching IPs in the
same session thus what is recorded in the MAILDIR/*.qw file does not match
the subsequent requests.

One way to tell is to monitor your web server log file to see if this is
true.  If it is,
the solution to this is to tell your users who are experiencing problems to
disable the use of proxy for this particular URL.

Lu

maildrop advice needed please

[Lu Vo]

I am currently using vpopmail, qmailadmin and sqwebmail.
All domains are name-based sharing only vpopmail as user and vchkpw as
group.
I would like to have all virtual POP users have the ability to filter their
incoming e-mails on the server.

Has anyone implemented this and would maildrop fulfill the job ?

I would greatly appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks.

Lu

RE: sqwebmail logout users when refresh browser

[Lu Vo]

That is a good point and I have just done that to a dozen files.

Thanks.

RE: sqwebmail logout users when refresh browser

[Lu Vo]

Well,
I know not to do it but for most clients, it is an automatic reflex to check
for new mails since there is no "check mail" button.

Thanks,
Lu

sqwebmail logout users when refresh browser

[Lu Vo]

Does anyone know why I get logged out when I refresh my browser during
sqwebmail session ?
Is there a way to stop that ?

Thanks.

RE: qmailadmin/autoresponder patch

[Lu Vo]

Here is a patch that turns autoresonder into vacation.
Someone suggested using directory to do this.  Thanks.

Now, someone please fix the GUI to allow this as an option so one can have a
choice to receive the e-mail or not.

qmailadmin/autoresponder

[Lu Vo]

I am trying to change autoresonder.c from qmailadmin source to skip the
forwards information in .qmail-user  and display the autoresponder info but
with no luck so far.

Example,
in .qmail-lu,  I have:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
|/usr/local/bin/autorespond 1 5
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/vpop.hostation.com/LU/message
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/vpop.hostation.com/LU

As it is now, emails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets forwarded to the two
addresses above as well as get autoresponded to.

However, show_autoresponder does not show the appropriate line because it
could not find the key word autorespond in the first line which is
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know what I need to do but I have been unsuccessful in modifying the code.
It needs to skip all lines that do not conatin autorespond and continue
through the file.

Can someone out there who is more adept than I give me a hand ?

Just trying to make autoreponder behaving a bit more like vacation.

BTW, if you are interested, here is what I did to addautorespondnow() and
modautorespondnow() functions:

old:
fprintf(fs,
"|%s/autorespond 1 5 %s/%s/message %s/%s\n",

new:
sprintf(TmpBuf3,
"|%s/autorespond 1 5 %s/%s/message %s/%s\n",
AUTORESPOND_BIN, RealDir, TmpBuf2, RealDir, TmpBuf2);

dotqmail_add_line(ActionUser,TmpBuf3);

Not sure about deletion though :-)


Thanks in advance.
