Well as you can probably tell from the annoyingly crazy posts coming from me lately, I've been having trouble with qmail/vpopmail/courier setup, now it's a thing of the past and I'd like to thank you all for your help. Some misguided, and some which hit the nail on the head. The one last bit that I don't like is that the vpopmail FAQ states that ~vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp should be run every hour (suggested crontab entry -- 40 * * * *) though I find that the roaming users option only works if I run this thing every minute, I assume that it's clearopensmtp that makes the cdb files in order to handle relaying. Is this type of operation normal? Or is vpopmail supposed to run the util on its own to update the /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb file?
I find finding good docs on these packages hard to find, I think that I'll leave this production server alone and play with the innards a bit so I understand them better and maybe take it upon myself to write better documentation... no offense to Ken, the fact that I went completely bannanas with one (ok 2) packages seems to generally be impossible to me. So there I've said my piece... I feel better. Dan
