Is there a way for php to link to C libraries? if that is possible
then you can access the complete vpopmail interface.
3&4th field, you mean uiD and gid.
the gid field is a bit flag mask
please consult the vpopmail.h
/* gid flags */
#define NO_PASSWD_CHNG 0x01
#define NO_POP 0x02
#define NO_WEBMAIL 0x04
#define NO_IMAP 0x08
#define BOUNCE_MAIL 0x10
#define NO_RELAY 0x20
#define NO_DIALUP 0x40
#define V_USER0 0x080
#define V_USER1 0x100
#define V_USER2 0x200
#define V_USER3 0x400
The uid field only uses one bit flag, for APOP.
However the apop feature is not offically supported.
(mostly because no one can explain to me how it works)
