That will then automatically create the folders for that users mail. However as far as I can tell there is no easy way to go through and delete the mail user when its deleted from the database. Is there any easy way to do that with vpopmail? Hi, ~vpopmail/bin/vdeluser username Regards, Rick

Hi, ~vpopmail/bin/vdeluser username The problem I have with that is the mail access system is separate to the mail store system which is separate to the DB server doing the authentication. The way that I have put forward is when the users are deleted from the DB I have the records copied into a todelete table. That to delete table is then queried to create a text file then perl/bash just runs a for loop each user. Can anyone see any issues with that? Regards, Rick

Hi, Should be fine as long as you remember that there might be .qmail-user files in the home directory of that domain. Regards, Rick
[vchkpw] vacation .qmail in the wrong place?!
hi all using qmailadmin to create vacation messages. a .qmail file for the vacation message is created in the users directory. that one is not being read by vdelivermail because there is a .qmail-default in each domain's directory. i manually have to move the .qmail one level up to .qmail-vacation_user in order for the vacation message to work... i don't want to move it manually. i don't know when users would like to go on vacation. it doesn't work for them until they call me... on this machine versions are like: qmailadmin 1.2.0 vpopmail 5.4.0 i know both have newer versions.. is this taken care of in the newer versions? thanks... --
Re: [vchkpw] vacation .qmail in the wrong place?!
vdelivermail will read the .qmail file in the users directory. You should not need to move anything. You might need to upgrade your vpopmail version though. it doesn't... all domains use maildrop in .qmail-default like: |maildrop mailfilter and the relevant lines in the mailfilter: xfilter /usr/bin/deliverquota $VHOME/Maildir i guess then deliverquota doesn't read the .qmail file... copy is kept but vacation hasn't been used. there is nothing in the maillog about sending mail back either Regards, Rick --

You are stuck with creating the .qmail-vacation_user files manually in the top level directory if you don't use vdelivermail in the .qmail-default file. You might try changing the xfilter /usr/bin/deliverquota $VHOME/Maildir to something like xfilter | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox and see if that helps. Regards, Rick

Hi, Yes, vdelivermail does read the maildirsize file and enforces quotas. You may need to upgrade to 5.4.12 to get all the latest fixes though. Regards, Rick
Re: [vchkpw] vacation .qmail in the wrong place?!
Yes, vdelivermail does read the maildirsize file and enforces quotas. You may need to upgrade to 5.4.12 to get all the latest fixes though. what will be the difference between vdelivermail and vdeliverquota then? and i did change to vdelivermail in the maildrop scripts. still doesn't work... does that mean that in vpopmail 5.4.0 vdelivermail in a maildrop script doesn't read the .email files in the user directory, but it does in the latest version? thanks...
