hi,

i am using vpopmail for a large site with many users signing in or changing
quotas, etc. for those who are not familiar to vpopmail - it is free qmail
addon to implement easy virtual domain management - more info on
http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/.

the site is wholy php based. for more than an year i were using interafce
module written in php that exec'd suid ~vpopmail/bin/* for various
operations and emulating vpopmail api to php.

since in my setup (and i suppose in most large scale ones) php is built into
apache thus gaining performance over cgi exec and etc., i have decided to
make a php wrapper module for the vpopmail api providing the functionality
through 'native' php calls.

part of vpopmail functionality does not require suid root. only vpopmail and
apache must be run as the same user. this is not a big pain - only domain
management requires qmail interaction and must be implemented as external
process exec.

i think the stuff will be of high interest to all vpopmail users but i
cannot estimate their volume.

i am writing this message to see the interest in this stuff and also get
ideas about the way php modules may be distributed...

b.
