I'm currently using vpopmail version 5.4.6 (from FreeBSD ports) and i'm curious about how vpopmail handles aliases while using mysql. I have build vpopmail with --enable-valias and --enable-auth-module=mysql (using the USE_MYSQL and WITH_VALIAS settings in ports for those FreeBSD people out there). The problem that I have run into is that I'm writing an application in c which uses the vpopmail libraries, and if I use the valias_insert(alias, domain, line) function that is provided, it creates a .qmail-alias file instead of inserting it directly into the database. I was curious if this is how it's supposed to work even though mysql has been specified or possibly in the new versions it places the information in the valias table now. I know I can just have my program use the mysql database directly, I was just hoping to use the vpopmail library as much as possible.
