As a new user of qmaila
Hi, ive been running vpopmail for a while now, but have just noticed
something a bit odd.
I edited one of the .qmail-user files and added another email address below
the maildir line. Sometimes, (There seems to be no pattern) mail is only
delivered to the other email address and not to the maildi
Hi, ive compiled vpopmail with mySQL support, set libs to
/usr/local/mysql/libs/mysql and inc to /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql and
everything compiled fine
However, now i get the following error message when I try to add a domain or

Just grabbed the latest vpopmail (4.9.8) and installed it, with mysql

the domain.

Well, if you think about it...

can think of are some general code tidy
Has anyone ever had success in compiling courier IMAP with vpopmail + SQL

I get the following errors:

Okay, everyone has had their say in the dbfunctions bit, so I amy aswell add
mine.
For me, the dbfunctions is an essential part of vpopmail and
the username is wrong or the password is
wrong.
Id check that you have it setup properly with your mySQL server, your
username and your password and there should be an obvious mistake
somewhere in there :)
