If it's the only way to go, then yes, I would consider it. How would that work? Would I run an NFS client on the billing server? Or would I log in via rsh from the billing server to the mail server? That last choice solves the overhead of starting an encrypted connection, but you've still got the overhead of starting a remote shell. I'd rather just have a dedicated remote shell. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jesse Guardiani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 6:10 PM > Subject: [vchkpw] vpopmail + billing server integration > > > > Hello, > > > > I have a vpopmail server that I would like to integrate with > > my billing server.
