Since you are using mysql, and the default date is part of the create_tables....sql file, you could ofcourse change the user table from a cron job:

-------
#!/bin/sh
today=`date +"%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00"`
mysql -e "alter table users change last_login last_login datetime default
   \"$today\" not null;" dbmail
-------

I dont think this is possible with postgresql, though.

Dbmail is my 3 mail system.

I converted my users from pegasus mail to uwimap to dbmail.
and been draging some unuse accounts.

Dbmail give me "at last" via a mysql query a easy way to know the accounts
that are not being used since a long time.

Thats great.

So now that 3 mounts have gone by since my conversion to dbmail
i can delete all those 2,200 1979 accounts that nobody are using.

Well yes and no because when we create a new account it also
gets the 1979 creation date.

And if via a script i delete all those 1979 accounts i mite
delete some "unuse new accounts".

My request is could we have via a parameter in dbmail-adduser
the chance to change the default 1979 date to the day the
account was created and/or to another date.

Bien à vous
