Hello Ken,
Thanx for your response... I might as well wait for the 4.9.9 stable
release..toooo scared to do the patch job on our live server...as I am new
to all this.
What about the qmailadmin 0.39 bug...when a pop user logs in, add a redirect
and then when he tries to delete it, gets kicked out of Qmailadmin with the
error... Error: could not change to
directory /home/user/domains/domain.com
permissions seem fine for .qmail file...what could be the problem then....
Best Regards
Sumith Ail
