You might want to check out the functionality of sqwebmail-1.2.5. I
tried
installing it yesterday and found that everything worked fine untill I
tried to read an email message, then I saw some strange error message
about the user being over quota, that's sqwebmail's quota.
sqwebmail-1.2.3 works fine and it's availble from the source forge ftp
directory of sqwebmail.
I've updated the vpopmail-4.9.9 to redo how user dirs are created. So
if you download the new version and use that, you'll have luck.
Then i've updated the sqwebmail authlib/preauthvchkpw.c code to use
this new code. Here is my code sample from that file:
vget_assign(s,NULL,0,&uid, &gid);
pw=vauth_getpw(usercopy, s);
if ( pw!=NULL ) {
if (pw->pw_dir == NULL || strlen(pw->pw_dir) == 0 ) {
make_user_dir(usercopy, s, uid, gid);
pw=vauth_getpw(usercopy, s);
}
vlogauth(pw, s, service);
}
free(usercopy);
vclose();
You'll notice it does the check for a null or zero length directory
and calls make_user_dir to make it.
It also calls the new vlogauth function to updated the lastlog table
so you'll know if they authenticated with sqwebmail. By default this
code is disabled. if you want it to log that you'll need to add
--enable-auth-log=y
