I may just be mouthing off again, but I gather from the last paragraph in INSTALL that vpopmail may not even bother with vpopmail/etc/tc.smtp and open-smtp anymore. I think the default may be to assume that since you're using MySQL, you should use Matt Simerson's tcpserver-mysql patch. The relay table is certainly populated in my database, but the vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is NOT generated. Personally, I don't have any qualms about vpopmail defaulting to MySQL based tcpserver relay control when I'm using MySQL. However, I strongly disagree with the INSTALL wording if that's the case! It makes it sound like Matt's patch is only "suggested", but it honestly seems to be REQUIRED when mysql support is enabled in vpopmail. I have now installed Matt's patch in my tcpserver. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jonas Pasche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 3:36 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for > > -enable-roaming-users? > > > > > > Hi Ben, > > > > > Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere -- I didn't see > > > > it.
