Back in April of last year I'd asked about Postgres support in vpopmail and
Bill had mentioned that it was in the development version. Has that been
abandoned altogether? I didn't see it in the current stable release, and
there's been a few releases between 04/02 and now. :-)

I'm running 5.2.1 with roaming users enabled, but upon successful POP3 or
IMAP4 logins the tcp.smtp.cdb file is not being updated.
I've checked file permissions (going as far as to set mode 666 on both
tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb) and verified that the ones I'm looking at are the

That would seem to indicate that it was still trying to update the
tcp.smtp[.cdb] files, but that is not the case here -- the

I have an interesting problem.
My qmail installation seems to work great. Local deliveries are fine, remote
deliveries are fine, receiving email for local deliveries is fine. I am
using vpopmail (latest stable) with roaming users and I'm using courier's

There's pgsql auth code available? Whereat? I thought pgsql on vpopmail was

Why on earth would you shut down delivery for the compile?
time to make install: 30 seconds
30 sec / .02 sec/delivery = 1500 deliveries
that's one order of magnitude, assuming that you need the full 30 seconds to

I strongly agree. The development snapshots are nice and all but for those of

the new website design that thends to hide what I'd call the CVS snapshot

bah... I looked at the diff and saw ^Ms at the end of all the lines so I
stripped them out. Attached is a fixed version that *does* apply.

You come across as if you're entitled to the feature in this release. Why not
ask nicely instead of a half-sarcastic quip? I think that's what everyone's
picking up on.

Personally I don't think it belongs in vpopmail. A shell script that runs
once a week/month that queries the database for users older than x and runs
vdeluser $user would be stupid-simple to implement.
Unless you are asking for so

Exactly. As in when your people add the new user, your billing table has an
expiry date. Every week/month/whatever, a cron script runs which spits out a
list of users to be deleted,

I'd like to request a feature (I'll probably supply a patch in a few days
anyway) which would add an -r (regenerate) option to vpasswd to take the
existing vpasswd file and regenerate a vpasswd.cdb file for a domain.

I dunno, I don't block mail from servers with no reverse DNS, or whose reverse
