Hi,
Why not use an SQL database instead? That's what we do with vpopmail
(although I'd love for qmail-scanner to have support for virtual users, oh
well) and it works just dandy.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: Re: [SAtalk] spamd and virtual users
I haven't heard a reply about this, and think it's a rather serious issue.
Has anyone else ever bothered to use spamd with virtual users? I'd fix
this myself, but there's obviously some confusion as to what spamd is
SUPPOSED to be doing.
This is different than the virtual-config in that my virtual users HAVE
home directories (of sorts) where spamassassin should store its info, but
are all owned by a different user (apache, in this case) that has a
different home directory. All this would take is about 3 lines of code
into spamd, and the ability to have spamc pass its $ENV{HOME} var to
spamd...
why not just let spamc handle more of the normal spamassassin commands,
anyway?
