Hey Jake,
I do not think anyone on this list or using qmt does not apriciate the
work you did and are doing..
For me it really is not about the 30$, just never needed an interface,
guess I should check qcontrol maybe it will help me alot :)
Anyways, as said in an other mail I am just trying to help some who
are using vqadmin..
Have been active in the past with patches and helping arround on this
list, been busy otherwise but figured I can still contribute some time
to qmt.
I do think (as u suggest) a good mailserver needs a basic tool to
manage the users, so it would be good to fix vqadmin.
Or to write a replacement, with some basic features.
Guess I should crawl back under the stone I was the past year.. seems
this all stirs up things ..
Sorry for that.
I think the topic actually generated some good ideas and traffic. I'm
trying to get the project back into giving the community what they ask
for - I can't do this if you don't tell me what you want!
I know lots of people appreciate the work that I and others do. That's
not the issue I was ranting on. It costs actual money to run a project
like this, and most people do not understand that. I'm not even counting
time spent, just actual server costs.
I'd started 2 or 3 projects in the past to write a replacement for
Vqadmin with other people, but they always died on the vine. I found it
frustrating. After a specific user went on a long-winded thread on how
open source would never work because we wouldn't write a GUI that worked
I decided to sit down and learn the skills I lacked to write the thing
by myself.
I honestly don't even use my own software to administer my system(s). I
run servers for other companies around the world and I always found it
easier to use the CLI myself. Mainly out of habit.
The only feature that I can think of that Vqadmin provides that is not
covered under Qmailadmin is the ability to create domains.
I'll be starting a "video magazine" for QMT in the very near future with
how-to videos, and one of the topics I'll eventually cover is how to add
domains using the command line and why to not use Vqadmin.
So I think the major topic we need to hash out is whether to remove the
Vqadmin package from the auto-installers or not - correct me if I am wrong.
