Hi Sam, > is there a simple way to induce my qmail-smtpd (patched with the > qmail-smtpd-auth patch from > http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/) to use the vpopmail > mysql db as "justice".
You can use vchkpw as the password checking backend for qmail-smtpd-auth, independent of wheter MySQL is used as the storage backend or not. qmail-smtpd-auth doesn't care for it; it only presents a checkpassword-compatible interface. Jonas
