Thanks Matt. =) Yeah I have been really pulling my hair out over that one. =) With as many Pop-3 connections/sec that our servers handle I thought that I would make things a little smoother if Vpopmail didn't write the cdb. I am afraid that the hash would become corrupt and cause relay problems for my users.
Instead, I am just having vpopmail write to a cdb elsewhere on the file system that nothing else reads. Then I have tcpserver read a different cdb file that I have created. It's messy, but it works. =) Paul J.

Even when using my patch, vpopmail continues to update the tcp.smtp.cdb file. There's one reason for that. The first is that my suggestion for adding a --dont-update-tcprulesfile=true was never implemented. Granted, it would only benefit a few users (really big ones like me) and it really doesn't make that much difference. So, in short you are right. You can do as I do and manually disable the routines in the vpopmail code that writes out the file, or you can just ignore it. If you're really clever, you can code in a --don't-update-tcprulesfile function but to save some time, you might want to search through the archives of this list as I've already been down that road.
