Ah.... I guess that depends on how you look at it. If I remember correctly,
it can't find my vpopmail user's config files.

I'll just email on the list since this is a devel list. That's what it's
for!

I'm using vpopmail (which implies qmail) + TMDA.

User config files don't necessarily exist in any particular place. You
have to grab the user directory from a vpopmail program called 'vuserinfo'.

You can use the '-d' option to retrieve the user's home directory if you
know the email address.

Tim Legant already implemented a solution for this problem in the tmda-ofmipd
code. He used a call to an external script (shell, Perl, Python, whatever)
and he feeds the user and domain to the script as environment variables.

It is then the script's responsibility to print the user's home directory.

This setup works extremely well for vpopmail, and apparently it works pretty
well for VMailMgr too (Tim's favorite). It's quite flexible because you can
always write a new shell script if new software comes on the scene.

I'd suggest something similar as a solution to the virtual user problem.

On a side note, I'm about to migrate from qadmin-tmda to a custom TMDA
control panel on my servers. If you could get this functionality implemented
in tmda-cgi soon (one month?), I can almost guarantee that I will actively
help you develop and polish the UI and feature set. We have a fair user base,
and tmda-cgi would be running in a production environment, so it would be
one of my top priorities to make the UI as user friendly as possible.
(Not that it isn't already or anything, but just that I haven't used it yet,
and I can imagine that my users will find something to complain about.)
