Hi Paul, Thanks about the tip regarding crontab! It makes the most sense indeed.

Plus not everyone is comfortable with sql. Valid point. Aliases that point to integer deliver_to values always refer to user_idnr. If those don't exist, they should probably be removed.

Use cronjobs. at 17:00 dbmail-adduser f <someaddress> <otheraddress> at 09:00 dbmail-adduser x <someaddress> <otheraddress> > Maybe it is something which can be implemented in a future release if > you think its useful. I don't think this will happen since it's not worth the trouble given the fact it can be done so easily with a cronjob/shellscript. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
