Re: [vchkpw] Create account with SQL query

If you can create accounts using a PHP, PERL interface by using SQL queries, then it would be assumed that you will also remove accounts using this method.

It would take additional work. You could create another table of users scheduled for deletion, and have a cron job running as root that queried that table hourly to delete the mail for that user. Or, just use the existing table and set the users flags to a special value (one that bounces mail, doesn't allow POP/IMAP/SMTP/Webmail access, etc.). Have your cron job search for those records, delete the files for the user and then delete the record. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

Basically, will vpopmail create the pw_dir field entry, then set and create the actual directory according to the directory structure? We'd like to create a custom user management interface without having to do command line calls if possible. Yep. You can do that. You will need to encrypt the password using the unix style mysql crypt function. Ken
