users/assign and virtualdomains are only modified when you 
add or remove domains.


adding / removing users simply updates your database backend 
(be it mysql, cdb, etc).

vpopmaild just uses library calls, addodmain in vpopmaild 
does the exact same thing as bin/vadddomain :)

Could someone get me in the right direction on adding domains "on-the-fly".
There has to be people on this list with a similar need. To add domains
directly in the mysql tables?



There are others, I would like it as well. I've looked at 
http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/ and considered trying to merge it with 
vpopmail. Unfortunately the resulting mail server would be such a 
red-headed stepchild I don't think I would be able to get help anywhere 
if it had problems. So pending my learning C, no further Sober 
outbreaks, no further network upgrades, NOC moves, etc, etc. I may get a 
chance to play with that on a test box, someday.


I actually think a merging of netqmail+qmail-mysql+vpopmail-mysql into 
one server would be a good thing. With a complete mysql backend, 
smtp-auth, Bill Shupp's maildrop/spamc patch, and qmail-tap, I would be 
a happy camper.

you can.  but in order for qmail to deliver mail to the domains, it has to be 
told where to look.

vpopmail handles this by adding the domain to virtualdomains and creating a 
'user' for the domain via the qmail-users mechanism.

I got zero response before, so maybe I need to refrase my question.

Is there a way to add users and domains without the need of editing the
assign and virtualdomains files, or do i have to wait for vpopmaild?

[vchkpw] users/assign and virtualdomains files

[Nicklas Bondesson]

Is there a clean way of overriding vpopmail's default behavior of using the
users/assign and virtualdomains files when using the mysql backend to lookup
user and domain data?

I would like to add/remove users and domains "on-the-fly" without the hassle
of manipulating and distributing those files among our mailservers.

Do i have to wait for vpopmaild? I guess it will handle this as well.


Thanks,
