Very nice!

Very nice!
As far as the second patch goes, it just implements what I think is a
missing feature from the commandline 'valias', and that is the ability to
remove a line from an alias (either .qmail file or SQL backend). This
patch also removes the SQL only restriction.
Next we need the ability to guarantee the order of the lines in both
.qmail and SQL back ends...
I know most of the community only want to use SQL backends, I however do
not, so I have been patching vpopmail for a while now so the file backend
works.
I'm not so sure about most. I use cdb, and so does everyone else that
uses the Shupp toaster as written.
While scanning the vpopmaild.c code, I noticed a comment in there that the
list_alias and list_lists commands needed re-writing to use the new valias
code, this is what I have done. This removes the need for the bkscandir
function (although that patch does not remove it). Also the output of
these commands does not display the leading .qmail (as the old commands
did), this is probably correct for both file and SQL backends.
THANKS!
Note: I also have a patch which is the same as 1) but does not call the
files in the users .qmail, instead calls them .vpopmail files. I
personaly prefer .qmail files so vpopmail looks like a qmail installation
as far as users are concerned.
I have mixed feelings about this. I'm sure Charles Cazabon on the qmail
list would rejoice if we did this. On the other hand we seem to be
moving towards having all the functionality of .qmail files built into
vdelivermail, which would also take care of his objections.
The best solution would probably be to read both .vpopmail and .qmail
files in the user directories, and start naming files executed by
vdelivermail .vpopmail. I'd like to see this patch...
If there are any bugs in these patches, please let me know.
I hope to find some time this weekend. There are a number of features
I've wished for for quite some time...
THANKS!
Rick
