  Hello..
  My domains are located somewhere else then

  domains/ directory in his homedir).
  
  Since vpopmaild doesn't allow a server admin to use the
  read_file/list_dir/write_file ... functions for those 
 domains, I wrote a 
  small patch.
 
 Ok.  Can you please upload your patch to the SourceForge 
 tracker so it 
 doesn't get lost.
 
 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=85937atid=577800
 
 
  Imho a serveradmin account should be able to access ALL domains 
  handled by
  vpopmail, so I think this patch should get included in the 
 next release.
  
  Patch is for vpopmail-5.4.18
 
 I can't tell from just looking at the patch how you are setting 
 valid_domain_path.  As long is you are only exposing mail domain 
 directories with the patch, it should be included in the next 
 release. 
 It would be helpful if you included a little blurb on how your patch 
 decides which directories it allows access to when you upload it.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Rick

because ./vadddomain supports domains at other locations.
and i don't want to use some sort of hack like

./vaddomain something.com
mv /var/vpopmail/domains/something.com /home/someuser/domains
ln -s /home/someuser/domains/something.com /var/vpopmail/domains/

that's why.

[vchkpw] Standard vpopmail to LDAP migration

[Curt Shaffer]

I would like to change my current vpopmail to use LDAP. I currently have
multiple hosted domains running. I installed vpopmail from source and I am
wondering if I just recompile with LDAP will it utilize the maildirs already
in place for the users or will I need to readd the user accounts with new
maildirs? I guess testing on a non production system would be the best way
but I was just hoping someone out there has done this before and could let
me know any gotchas with this procedure that they ran into.

Thanks

Curt
