Narrowing the possible scope for each letter to 64 from some larger

That'd be foolish in the extreme. If the user, or administrator, wants
passwords that are easy to

Hello Paul, hello all,
Paul: The reason why I do NOT want vadduser or any commandline tool is
that I want to write a perl script which automatize user generation.
Cool would would be If one could run:
vadduser $variable_password
or something like this in
Perl or PHP code!
Regs,

You can do with with Perl's system or exec calls, and I'm sure that
PHP has equivalent calls as well. Just call the binary from your script.
Why not use the product as its architected? Sheez!

Hello Paul, hello all,
Oh my god, that is what I was looking for!
Thank you very much. I thought I couldn´t write it all in one

Now I write my perl-script for automation. Thank you ALL.

Hello Rainer,
a perl-module for vpopmail. YES. Is it in CPAN?
How is it called?
Oliver
Also, there is also a PERL-module for vpopmail !
It exposes almost all commands via an API.
And if that isn't enought, you can compile PHP with
vpopmail-support.
cheers,
Rainer
It's in CPAN. Just do a search for vpopmail in CPAN and you will find it.
