I'll not deal with maintaining flat files for passwords, even if the flat files are auto generated by a query to vpopmail. That would defeat the purpose of vpopmail. > > I am sure it would be more convenient to pull passwords via vchkpw, > but I really don't know how to do that.

If you can't figure it out or don't want to figure it out, then I'll give it a shot myself eventually. No big deal. <snip> >> I suggest using DJB's checkpassword interface because vpopmail's vchkpw >> program is compatible with it(I think): >> >> http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd.html > > That only allows us to pull passwords from /etc/passwd.

DJB's website describes the interface. <snip> > There's a menu on the left that lets you look through all the pages. > This page not only shows how I want to make tmda-cgi look, but it > should give you an idea of what features I'm planning to add. I saw that, and I flipped through it, but I couldn't get the pending queue to display. Is that because it's a test account? Or is it because it's broken in your test program or what? > Not currently... well, you can add to the lists, but you can't edit > them. I do plan to add this eventually.

Eventually I'd like to make these dropdown menu based.

Saw that too, which is why I mentioned the pending thing in the first place. Again, icing. However, do you have, or plan to have a multilevel permissions model? WingNET would like to give certain privileges to domain administrators, and we'd like to restrict certain people from certain functionality. For instance, I DON'T want my domain administrators or users messing with the pending queue auto-clean time. Disk space becomes an issue if we allow that. But, even if you don't have a permissions model, it can be added later. I'd much rather start with something working and improve it than re- invent the wheel on this one. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
