For what its worth, my 0.02
>From what I remember the dbfunctions patch is strictly for those people
using vpopmail with a db backend, from my original quick scan several months
ago I was able to determine that this would break my installation of
vpopmail since I do not use a db, but instead another authentication format.
Ken has to retrofit this to fit EVERYONE who is using vpopmail, not just
those who fit your scenario Krzysztof, and though you have many people using
your patches successfully I would assume that that is a very small portion
of the installed userbase of vpopmail.
I also remember Ken publicly asking for documentation on how it works when
you publicly complained in the last version of vpopmail when it wasn't
included. I would assume Ken never received what he felt was needed to fit
this properly into vpopmail and therefore developed perhaps a
"feature-crippeled version" of your patch in order to provide a product to
support the entire userbase of vpopmail.

Ken,
I've read the latest changelog for vpopmail. i've noticed that you have
implemented something that looks like feature-crippled version of my
dbfunctions patch.
After a half year of nearly ignoring me and my friends attempts, without
ANY open discussion about these features (i've been asking for discussion
atleast few times) you have basicaly THROWN AWAY all of our work (and
wasted the efforts of beta testers from this list).
Can you tell me is there a way for people like us to contribute to vpopmail
without the risk of being completely ignored and our time wasted?
This is the last time, i'm trying to change something. I grew tired of all
this. If nothing changes (or i get no reply as usual) i will stop investing
my time in vpopmail.
Kris
