It was answered before this posting on the list, when Krzysztof first
noticed that the dbfunctions patch in its entirity was not going to be
included in the latest vpopmail build.
You can check the archives for the exact posting (subject Dbfunctions) but
the general of it all was that dbfunctions could not be included in its
current state because it breaks non database installations, it lacks
documentation and Krzysztof never gave Ken enough information to port it
properly to support the entire vopmail userbase.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me, why there is no answer ( for letters with 'dbfunctions'
in Subject ) from inter7.com ?
