You are correct, that is a bug in the vdeloldusers.c coding which is exposed if you
./configure --enable-mysql=y --enable-auth-logging=n make Your proposed workaround of moving the ifdef will be fine I will fix the problem in CVS Michael. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Walsh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2003 2:15 AM Subject: [vchkpw] vdelolduser question > Recently I tried to remove the auth-logging feature from our vpopmail > configuration. > > First some background: I had determined that our configuration was still > very master database dependant which is not one of our project goals. > Basically we have local databases on each client in the mail cluster we are > running.
