Thanks for the responses! I sent the original from the wrong email thanks for the heads up.
Anyway. I plan on using Perdition and pointing Squirrelmail to that so it's perditions job to get them to the correct IMAP/POP server. The biggest problem isn't so much vlogin but the vacation plugin. I was hoping the plugins used session based user environment variables instead of startup initialization. Then if you used something like a vlogin or ldapuserdata the other plugins, like vacation, would get it's server information from that. If someone could point me to a part in the development guide that would explain how I could pass username and imap server via login attributes/envrionment variables I'll be glad to hack up vlogin and vaction. > On Sat, 2005-04-09 at 20:00 -0400, anthony wrote: > > >>> Does anyone know if any of the plugins use LDAP to get IMAP server >>> info based on the username? > > > As Paul wrote, the easiest solution would probably be to write some code > for the vlogin plugin for your case. > > > >>> The closest thing I have see is the vlogin plugin that uses regular >>> expression to direct the user to the right IMAP server.
