I'm saying you can do most of it without changing a thing in Xmail, except those things that would require an API or change in tracking and reporting in the Xmail service itself (uptime, session count, total logins is log parsing), although you can find memory and cpu through third pary apps (ps in *nix). Many things you ask for do not exist in many MTA's. We use Ipswitch Imail ($1500 for the version that hosts more than 5 domains) for our primary mail store and it has nothing even close to ctrlclnt for functionality, the web mail system is a basic account manager/webmail, nothing more, adding/deleting domains, configuring MTA settings, and the like must be done at the GUI console, I actaully use my spam software to hold all mail for suspended doamins so I wouldn't have to suspend pop boxes one by one.
I would rather see Davide add more advance SMTP envelope rejection abilities than extended ctrlclnt. To be able to perform basic tests on HELO/EHLO, MAIL FROM, and RCPT TO, failed SMTP auth tarpitting or temp blocking on IP, things like that.

True, but I picked the example that I gave because it was simple to =3D outline :) Here are a couple of other uses: - A new userstats that returns info like - last login - last client domain name (RDNS lookup) R> These should be able to be run server side, if I remember correctly a file is created in the user mailbox with the needed info on POP3, use cfgfileget - total amount of spam the user received today=3D20 R> changes depending on the spam software so it couldn't be universal, but if you can make your sw increment a counter in the MailRoot and use cfgfileget - a server stats - total logins - startup time - current memory usage - etc. R> These would require api from XMail - alter the startup parameters - restart xmail to pickup changes - etc. R> These you can do through many other means, if you are running a web based admin package, run it on your XMail server and add scripts to = modify the startup or run a restart batch or script Basically, the reason for the request to so that more complete remote = =3D manage application can be written :) It would be great is the ctrl = protocol =3D could grow so that a complete xmail environment could be managed = (spam, xmail server startup parameters, other external tools, etc). All of the ideas =3D that I have are things that cannot be done using the existing = ctrl protocol.
