Wow, hey, cool, thanks, man.
(I saw that switch in the docs, but it didn't seem to be in any way
related...or the default. Maybe somebody could clarify INSTALL.)
This is what it says now:
* --enable-webpass=no - do not use SqWebMail-only passwords as an
alternative authentication mechanism. This mechanism allows the
user to specify a SqWebMail-only password to be used for logging
in, instead of the default system password. This password will be
stored in a protected file in the user's Maildir directory. See
SECURITY for more information.
* --enable-webpass=vpopmail - use the vpopmail.a library to change
passwords (this will only work if the virtual userid used for the
accounts also owns the vpopmail password database).
...which isn't very bloody clear.
Anyway, it works now (after several unrelated hacks to the Makefile).
Thanks again,
