13. For sites using the mysql module and --enable-roaming-users=y it
is highly suggested to use Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch.
This removes the need for vpopmail to compile a tcp.smtp.cdb file
for each pop authentication. Instead, tcpserver looks directly
into the vpopmail mysql table of IP's

You will need the tcpserver-mysql patch in order to remove the need to
have the cdb file written.

Subject: [vchkpw] Using tcpserver/mysql
Greetings,
I am trying to accomplish using vpopmail with the tcpserver/mysql patch.
Based on the documentation found on step 13 of
http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/INSTALL:
--
For sites using the mysql module and --enable-roaming-users=y it is
highly suggested to use Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch. This
removes the need for vpopmail to compile a tcp.smtp.cdb file for each
pop authentication.
--
I have implemented the patch, and verified that tcpserver is reading my
/var/qmail/control/sql file properly (if I chmod 000 this file,
tcpserver complains about it on startup). Also with
--enable-roaming-users=y in vpopmail, vchkpw properly writes the
authenticated IP addresses/timestamp to the vpopmail.relay table in
MySQL.
My problem is this:
Even though it is properly writing the IPs to the vpopmail.relay table,
it is also writing them into the tcp.smtp.cdb hash file. I would like it
to ONLY write to MySQL and not to the .cdb. I have tried
--enable-roaming-users=n, but this causes vchkpw to stop writing the IP
addresses to either location.
It is almost like there should be a --dont-update-tcprulesfile=true
variable upon configuration. Am I missing something here? Has someone
else configured vpopmail in this manner and gotten around this problem?
Thanks!
Regards,
Paul Fries
