[vchkpw] vpopmail + mysql. Basic question.
Sorry for the basic question but i can't figure how they work together. If i add a vpopmail user ( ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] ), it will saved in mysql db. All right. But if i add a mysql record will it added to vpopmail users? What's about fields like pw_passwd? Tnx in advance. -- cris
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail + mysql. Basic question.
using vadduser not only adds the row to the table, but creates the directory structure for vdelivermail to put mail into. It also encrypts the password field. So you should either use the vadduser program or the vpopmail vadduser() API routine. Brian Sorry for the basic question but i can't figure how they work together.

Didn't know the recovery code was there. That's great. I've had instances in my old version where it wouldn't deliver mail because the maildir was missing, but now that I think about it, I haven't seen that problem for awhile. Thanks, Brian
