Ken,

Thanks for answering.  I did see that disable-users-big-dir option,
so I configured with it.

It seems to still do the following though:

1. create .dir-control in the domains directory.
2. complain when removing a domain that it can't delete the dir control.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vadddomain test.com testcom
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vdeldomain test.com
Warning: Failed to delete dir_control for test.com

Even though /home/cust/vpopmail/domains/test.com is gone,
there is a .dir-control file in /home/cust/vpopmail/domains. I manually
deleted this file, but every time I add a new domain it creates this file
again. Not sure why ./vdeldomain would be complaining when there
wasnt a .dir-control in the first place associated with the domain I was
deleting.


Any ideas?

Brian

First, is there a way to disable the Dir Control functionality of
vpopmail?

Sure. Use this option

--disable-users-big-dir

If not, is there any downside to just not using it?

Just the optimization for keeping the number of directories in a directory to a efficent level.


You may ask why I need to do this.

We do our own hashing of directories and usernames here, using our own
script systems.
I like this because the paths that we are creating are predictable
since we are determining them
instead of dir control/vadduser.

Since you do your own hashing, no need to use vpopmail's.

Cheers,
Ken Jones
