We are thinking to upgrade to the new version of Vpopmail because the old one(currently installed vpopmail) has one critical bug in the current version we are using needs to be addressed is that mail bounces when vdelivermail can't connect to MySQL for whatever reason (usually because MySQL is down or busy). and one feature we don't like is the .dir-control file. Can anyone explain why it is needed and if we can put the info in the .dir-control file in the database instead? Also, we will soon be implementing NFS storage for our maildirs. Meaning: we will have 1 big email storage system and several little delivery machines mounting the domain directories via NFS. Problem is, what happens when the NFS machine is down for whatever reason? Can we patch qmail-local or vdelivermail to defer delivery if the user's maildir is offline, or is this functionality already included somehow w/ qmail? Jerome Macaranas Edsamail Philippines, Inc.
