Hi Rick,
many thanks for the link to the files.
At first glance (didn't try it yet) this
should work, at least for a mysql based vpopmail default installation.
One little bit of couriosity: did you do it for a popmail compiled with
--enable-many-domains (default). If so, I now have the task adapting it for
--without-many-domains,
where each domain has its own table in the vpopmail
database like so: my_first_domain_tld, my_second_domain_tld,
anotherdomain_tld...
because I did a compile configured --without-many-domains
I will give it a try and give feedback here!
Thanks again
Claus
