Greetings, I'm trying to use vpopbull to broadcast a message to all my users. Drive space is critical and I'd like to use the -h flag to softlink the file containing the message, but it looks hoaky. Does it work???
Also, whenever I do "./vpopbull -vn mydomain.net" from the /home/vpopmail/bin dir I only get a version number returned to me.... Shouldn't I be getting a verbose list with all the user email addresses instead????? Is this the right way to do this, or should I be using/doing something else... Here's a copy of the man page for vpopbull for your reference convience! ;-) NAME vpopbull - post a message to virtual domain users ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- SYNOPSYS vpopbull [-f filename ] [-e exclude email addresses file] [-v] [-n] [-c] [-h] [-s] [virtual domain ...] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- DESCRIPTION Post a message to virtual domain users ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- OPTIONS [-f filename] File containing the email message to be posted.

[-h] Make a hard link from email file to virtual users directory. Email file must be on the same physical device as the virtual users directories. This will save disk space.

If the original file is deleted, users will not be able to read the message. [virtual domain ... ] List of domains to send the message to. If this is not supplied then the message is sent to all virtual domains.
