Local delivery quota checking patch?

2001-07-09 Thread Chris
Ken said any email to the alias won't check quotas. that mean the end user can use this way to store tons of email on the mail server. for example: alias "chris" to a pop account "peter". it doens't matter the "peter" is over quota or not. any size of email to "chris" will still store in mailbox

barring a filetered solutions, there is always the manual way of accomplishing this. create an additional alias for "salesstaff" which includes all the pop salesX accounts and only one pop boss account... of course this doesn't allow you to tag particular sales staff, all or none scenario. >--

I don't know how expensive this would be, but what about building in a cache mechinism? Where vauth_getpw can update a cdb stored locally and use that cdb in the event of a database failure. The mechnism would need to be able to add/remove/update records in the cdb based on the contents of the

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Ever try to build a replicated database (which is kinda what you are talking about). The things you have to watch for are almost endless. But hey :) if you want to build it, test it, and then support it on the mailing list for the next two years, rock o

I agree with Ken. What are the needs for a cdb file when you have a replicated mysql db? About speed, if the db is very large, I don't think that a cdb file can be faster than a mysql lookup. About replicated db, a question. I've looked at the code and I think it was made for a read-write + read-

Actually that makes sense. Right now, when you choose an authentication methode (ie mysql) you are stuck with that one. I was thinking the other day myself, I wanted to use Mysql because, as I understood the instructions, I could in the future add in questions on the sqregister page like Passw

How hard? Trust me, it is not easy. IBM spent over 500 million getting redudancy/failover to work in DBII. mysql doesn't have it, postgres doesn't have it oracle does but they have millions. Sybase has something close, but it can fail. There are so many cases of problems, time race conditions, i

Points well taken. I suppose a perl script running every 10 minutes to keep the cdb files up to date and another once a day to clean up old Maildir's would be a better way to go (saves hacking up sqwebmail and courier-imap as well). Anyone have a snippit of perl code to work with vpopmail's cdb

I thought this was fixed in version 4.10.1; i.e. from Current Change Log 05/02/01 - [EMAIL PROTECTED] & [EMAIL PROTECTED] - added check if mysql is down, email is deferred instead of bounced or deleted. Can you please clarify? thanks in advance Faruque At 03:59 PM 7/9/01 +0200, Ken Jones
