I guess it will handle this as well. vpopmaild just uses library calls, addodmain in vpopmaild does the exact same thing as bin/vadddomain :) -Jeremy pgp56tiXL0mpp.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [vchkpw] command line tool to set catch-all
Hello hbeaumont,
can you write bash-shell scripts then use this:
1) make an alias of every new "virtual" mailaccount by this:
Under /home/vpopmail/domains/.0../the_regarding_domainname.de:
2) #> echo
"/home/vpopmail/domains/.0../the_regarding_domainname.de/postmaster/Maildir/
" > .qmail-the_name_of_the_account_you_want_to_alias
and the postmaster account you make him catchall,
like this -has to be done only once:
3) # >echo "| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/0/the_regarding_domainname.de/postmaster" >
.qmail-default
If you want to script it, do this:
3 a b)
for a in `ls /home/vpopmail/domains/` ; do if [ -d
/home/vpopmail/domains/$a ]; then echo
"/home/vpopmail/domains/.0../$a/postmaster/Maildir/" >
.qmail-the_name_of_the_account_you_want_to_alias;
echo "| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/0/$a/postmaster" > .qmail-default; fi
done;
end of for do done
That´s all, Hope to help from merry old germany ...

I would like to add/remove users and domains "on-the-fly" without the hassle of manipulating and distributing those files among our mailservers. users/assign and virtualdomains are only modified when you add or remove domains. adding / removing users simply updates your database backend (be it mysql, cdb, etc).

There has to be people on this list with a similar need. To add domains directly in the mysql tables? There are others, I would like it as well. I've looked at http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/ and considered trying to merge it with vpopmail. Unfortunately the resulting mail server would be such a red-headed stepchild I don't think I would be able to get help anywhere if it had problems. So pending my learning C, no further Sober outbreaks, no further network upgrades, NOC moves, etc, etc. I may get a chance to play with that on a test box, someday. I actually think a merging of netqmail+qmail-mysql+vpopmail-mysql into one server would be a good thing. With a complete mysql backend, smtp-auth, Bill Shupp's maildrop/spamc patch, and qmail-tap, I would be a happy camper. DAve DAve
[vchkpw] vpopmail stopped hashing directories
I converted from cdb to mysql a while back and I just now noticed an oddity. My understanding of vpopmail before was that it would automatically do directory hashing based on the number of domains and/or accounts. When we switched over from cdb to mysql authentication about 2 years ago it seems to have stopped doing it at a domain level. I didn't really notice until now because I just haven't paid close enough attention to the number of domains we have added during that time. I seem to remember something about the directory hashing breaking during the conversion from a post a long time ago but I don't recal. I've used the 'vcdir' program from the contrib directory but that only seems to convert specific domains. We were using vpopmail 5.3.x (don't remember the specific version) at the time we converted and are currently running 5.4.10. Can anybody help shed some light on the issue?
