That might be feasable.. if vpopmail ran as a daemon. But vpopmail gets called on by qmail. So if vpopmail had a config file it could damper it's performance (on slower systems, quite heavily) because every single time vpopmail was run it would have to read that config file. Remember that vpopmail is called on upon every message delivery, password check, etc etc.

In other words, would it be possible to add a config file, read at startup, from, say vpopmail/etc or qmail/control or similar? It seems to me that this would make a lot more sense than requiring the server, user and password to be compiled into the program itself. > -----Original Message----- > From: Clayton Weise [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 1:47 PM > To: 'Benjamin Tomhave'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [vchkpw] switching database servers > > > Recompile.
