I would like to add/remove users and domains on-the-fly without the hassle of manipulating and distributing those files among our mailservers. users/assign and virtualdomains are only modified when you add or remove domains. adding / removing users simply updates your database backend (be it mysql, cdb, etc). Do i have to wait for vpopmaild? I guess it will handle this as well. vpopmaild just uses library calls, addodmain in vpopmaild does the exact same thing as bin/vadddomain :) -Jeremy pgp56tiXL0mpp.pgp Description: PGP signature

There has to be people on this list with a similar need. To add domains directly in the mysql tables? Thanks, Nicklas B

To add domains directly in the mysql tables? you can. but in order for qmail to deliver mail to the domains, it has to be told where to look. vpopmail handles this by adding the domain to virtualdomains and creating a 'user' for the domain via the qmail-users mechanism. -Jeremy pgpXrCC6ka5as.pgp Description: PGP signature

There has to be people on this list with a similar need. To add domains directly in the mysql tables? There are others, I would like it as well. I've looked at http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/ and considered trying to merge it with vpopmail. Unfortunately the resulting mail server would be such a red-headed stepchild I don't think I would be able to get help anywhere if it had problems. So pending my learning C, no further Sober outbreaks, no further network upgrades, NOC moves, etc, etc. I may get a chance to play with that on a test box, someday. I actually think a merging of netqmail+qmail-mysql+vpopmail-mysql into one server would be a good thing. With a complete mysql backend, smtp-auth, Bill Shupp's maildrop/spamc patch, and qmail-tap, I would be a happy camper. DAve DAve
RE: [vchkpw] users/assign and virtualdomains files
Is there a clean way of overriding vpopmail's default behavior of using the users/assign and virtualdomains files when using the mysql backend to lookup user and domain data? I would like to add/remove users and domains on-the-fly without the hassle of manipulating and distributing those files among our mailservers. Do i have to wait for vpopmaild? I guess it will handle this as well. Thanks, Nicklas B I got zero response before, so maybe I need to refrase my question. Is there a way to add users and domains without the need of editing the assign and virtualdomains files, or do i have to wait for vpopmaild? Thanks, Nicklas B
