What files were left behind, and where did they come from? Is there a general place to check for patches? I checked the archives before posting, but didn't see anything relevant. The contrib directory in the vpopmail distribution, and http://sourceforge.net/projects/vpopmail/ are good places to look, but I don't think you will find a solution to your problem in them. Rick Note to anyone with vpopmail patches... The odds of seeing your patch make its way into the distribution is MUCH greater if you post it to SourceFORGE.
RE: [vchkpw] Looking for patches
What files were left behind, and where did they come from? I created a testuser for testdomain.com and noted that the user ended up in /home/vpopmail/domains/testdomain.com/testuser as expected. I then manually created a .qmail-testuser file at the domain level /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com, and ran some tests and that .qmail file did get used. I put it at the domain location instead of inside the users directory because that's what a script I saw did. Then I vdeluser deleted the testuser and the .qmail-testuser file was still there. Maybe I've got the .qmail file in the wrong place. ??? Should a user specific .qmail file be inside the domain directory or inside the users directory? If it's inside the users directory, then vdeluser will nuke it. If it has to be at the domain level, then it would be nice for vdeluser to nuke it since there isn't any other possible use for that file. -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com

It doesn't seem to matter, but have always made it a point to place them inside the users directory. If it's inside the users directory, then vdeluser will nuke it.

For a workaround i would just suggest placing them in the users directory :).

Thanks for the information about where to put the .qmail files. -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com
