Subject: [qmailadmin] template .qmail file
Perhaps this is a strange request, but here goes...
It would be nice to have a template .qmail file that gets coppied into the vpopmail user's directory when creating a new user. This would work sort of like how useradd takes /etc/skel and copies those files into the new user's home dir.
Reason for this?
I want to be able to use the .qmail file to call a script that filters spam (using the spamassassin spamc/spamd)
Perhaps there's a better way to do this using qmail (filtering at the queue level perhaps)? Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Anyways, the .qmail file will work for now. I was able to hack the user.c addusernow() function so that it copies a .qmail file into the new user's directory. If anybody is interested in how I did this let me know... its a pretty ugly hack though.

This request is probably more appropriate for vpopmail development.
Could one of the vpopmail developers consider submitting a patch to make_user_dir that would copy a default .qmail file (perhaps from ~vpopmail/etc?) into the new user's directory?
You could insert the code here:
if ( chdir(username) != 0 ) {
chdir(tmpbuf); free(tmpbuf); free(tmpdir);
printf( make_user_dir: error 2\n);
return(NULL);
}
/* insert code to copy default .qmail file */
if (mkdir(Maildir,VPOPMAIL_DIR_MODE) == -1){
chdir(tmpbuf); free(tmpbuf); free(tmpdir);
printf(make_user_dir: error 3\n);
return(NULL);
}
Thoughts?

This would work sort of like how useradd takes /etc/skel and copies those files into the new user's home dir. This is a job for a BASH script around vadduser, not a patch. That would work, but then you'd have different behavior when adding users from the command line (vadduser) and from qmailadmin (which uses the vpopmail libraries). I was hoping for consistent behavior, perhaps even with other programs that might link into vpopmail. A modification that used a skeleton directory could also be useful for those who want to have extra Maildirs automatically created (say for SPAM) on user creation. A shell script wrapper does the trick on the command line, but not for qmailadmin. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
