ahh I have not yet converted to mysql although I wish I had started with it
now.
I am sort of looking for an "easy way" to convert the all of the vpasswd.cdb
files to mysql. I had just recently converted all those damnable sqwebmail-pass
files back to vpasswd.cdb and am not looking forward to the mysql conversion.
Any suggestions?

Well, I give them away for free still and some of the people have used vqsignup
and the rest used vqregister. I think I am over 100 users because vpopmail
started with its seemingly arbitrary "0" directory creations.
I modified this line - this was all one line
from
eret = execl("/var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote", "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote", p,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", cemail, NULL);
to
eret = execl("/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject", p,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", cemail, NULL);
And although I got a different error, it failed to create the account YET it
sent me a confirmation error, with a password!
Oh yeah whats the [EMAIL PROTECTED] for/from? The ad?
