I have not seen any new additions to the mysql table vlog for a long
time, so I am worried an update broke something.
I am using vpopmail-5.4.33-r1, mysql-5.5.40, and netqmail-1.06-r2
I tried to delete the vlong table and recreate from what I have read in
the source file vpopmail-5.4.33/vmysql.c,
Has anyone experienced people trying to brute force vpopmail?
I'm sick of it, so I cron'ed a little script others might enjoy.

Hi All,
Has anyone done any work on getting vpopmail to auth against active directory?
I know there was incomplete code for an active directory auth module in an
older release (5.3.20)... but the windows server code was lost.
