Re: .qmail files with vpopmail/sqwebmail
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [001216 12:56]: Hi all I have installed qmail / vpopmail / vqsignup / sqwebmail I have and account in the dir /home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/"name-of-account" This is probably more suited for the vpopmail mailing list. Send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe. I want to keep a copy in the Maildir of "name-of-account" and want to forward a copy of the mail to another account In qmail I would generate a file /home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/name-of-account/.qmail Try putting the directions in /home/vpopmail/domains/metta.lk/.qmail-name-of-account instead, since... - # copy of mail in Maildir ./Maildir/ # copy of mail to Mr abc [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...vpopmail .qmail files in a user's directory only support local delivery. The ``'' line will probably not work here... but this does not seem to work that way with vpopmail This could, of course, be more descriptive. How does it fail? What Do The Logs Say? /pg -- Peter Green : Gospel Communications Network, SysAdmin : [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- We can use symlinks of course... syslogd would be a symlink to syslogp and ftpd and ircd would be linked to ftpp and ircp... and of course the point-to-point protocal paenguin.

Re: .qmail files
.qmail-unsubscribe should be owned by user alias and should contain one line: clifmail and in the clifmail home directory, there should be a .qmail file with ./Mailbox as its contents. and Mailbox should not be readable by anyone but user clifmail (600)

The file contains one line of text wich says: /home/clifmail/Mailbox Deliveries to .qmail files under ~alias are done as user "alias". User alias can't write to /home/clifmail/Mailbox. If you check your logs, you should a warning to that effect. You should also see bounces in ~alias/Mailbox. -Dave

You need a ";" before the "}".

Use the source, Luke. ;-)

switch(child = fork())

case -1:

case 0:
args[0] = "/bin/sh"; args[1] = "-c"; args[2] = prog; args[3] = 0;

Hardcoded, in other words. Not too difficult to change though.. :-)
Thanks,

Huh?
[root@hades ~]# /bin/sh -c '{ echo foo; echo bar }'
foo
bar
No trailing ; needed..?

Lesson one in portable computing: That something works in one
environment does not prove it works in another. The above fails on at
least one FreeBSD and one HP-UX machine in my neighbourhood. I'm not
inclined to try testing it on the dozen or so architectures available
to me...

Yes. That's how the Bourne shell works.

That's a nonstandard feature of whatever shell you've got installed as
/bin/sh.

Most likely a Linux system where sh is really bash.
[keith@dagobah gaa]$ which sh
/bin/sh
[keith@dagobah gaa]$ ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root4 Nov 27 20:35 /bin/sh - bash
[keith@dagobah gaa]$
But even the bash appears to be non-standard though since bash on FreeBSD
doesn't like the syntax either.
Oh well. Better to stick to the standard.
