Do we need both in core?
Robert, The two plugins do the same thing (authenticate users against a vpopmail installation) but in different ways. auth_vpopmaild: - no additional perl modules required - connects over a tcp socket to a vpopmaild daemon - requires vpopmaild daemon service - vpopmail not required on same machine as qpsmtpd auth_vpopmail - requires vpopmail perl module (hooks directly into the static libvpopmail.a library) - vpopmail must be on same machine as qpsmtpd As to whether both, or either, are "needed" in core - that's not for me to say. I don't see why both can't be included. R.
