Thanks. But tcpserver also requires access to the file
tcp.smtp.cdb. If i move these files to vpopmail/etc will it
not create problems for tcpserver that is called in the qmail-smtpd
startup script ? Because i should also change the path of the
tcp.smtp.cdb
file in the startup script from
/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb to /vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
I am using vpopmail.3.4.11-1 and i initially changed the path
of the smtp.cdb file in the startup-script as per vpopmail doc
thanks again
