I haven't fully explored valiases yet, but my understanding is that they are a replacement for the .qmail-user files used for aliases/forwards. Instead of storing the information in a file, it's stored in a database table. We haven't decided yet whether QmailAdmin will be compiled to use both valias and .qmail-user files simultaneously. When switching over to valias support, we might require the admin to run a tool to move all aliases into the table. Or, we could read from both the valias table and .qmail-user files to display settings, and save new and updated forwards to the table (deleting the .qmail-user file once successful). We do know that valias support in QmailAdmin will wait until we have a stable version to release, which should be soon. We're focusing almost entirely on bugfixes at this point. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester
[vchkpw] Merging maildrop and mailbot into vdelivermail
- Original Message - From: spork [EMAIL PROTECTED] When the next devel cycle happens, I think it would be worthwhile to look at turning vpopmail into a fully db-backed delivery agent. Some goals that that would help accomplish are: -easy development of a web frontend in any language that can talk SQL -easy integration with other web products, such as squirrelmail -ability to use vpopmail with other MTAs -easy integration with many billing backends -more efficiency; instead of having to read upwards of five files for every delivery and executing as many programs, one db call and one call to a filteing program. It seems to me that vdelivermail is very close to being able to do this. Hmmm interesting... vdelivermail could stop trying to use .qmail files altogether and simply rely totaly on SQL. One way to do this would be to merge maildrop's filtering laguage and mailbot's autoresponder functionalty into vdelivermail. Perhaps something like a sub-module. The point here is that vdelivermail would read ALL the settings from SQL and take care of everything right down to dropping the mail in the Maildir. Well that would take care of our SETUID problems. My 2 cents, Gérald
