Well, there is one difference between tmda-ofmipd and tmda-cgi that will
require a different plan of action: The password retrieval.

tmda-ofmipd was already rigged to get a vpopmail password via IMAP or
checkpassword program.

You'll need some way to check vpopmail passwords on the fly. One password
for all virtual users won't cut it.

I suggest using DJB's checkpassword interface because vpopmail's vchkpw
program is compatible with it(I think):

http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html

It's pretty standard by now. But unfortunately I'm pretty unfamiliar
with it, so I'd have to do some reading before I could help you implement
something that could actually interact with vpopmail's vchkpw program.

I suppose you'll need another configuration option to specify the
checkpassword program of choice too.

Ummm.. I'm not sure what you're asking. I only see a page to generate
dated/sender/keyword addresses at that link.

I haven't had a chance to look at tmda-cgi's capabilities yet, but as
long as my vpopmail users can log in and tmda-cgi allows for the viewing,
approving, and deleting of pending emails, I'd be happy to use it.

I'd like for my users to be able to edit their whitelists and blacklists
too, but that's about it.

I already have a script that automates the removal of stale pending
email for vpopmail users, and any additional functionality would just
be icing on the cake.
