Nice tip, Philip (could've used that a couple years ago!). Does qmail-newu do anything other than building the assign.cdb file?

Re: [qmailtoaster] let another handle my email
Yes I used that when migrating machines and another very nice little tool is qmail-newmrh which is building the morercpthosts.cdb about qmail-newu : NAME qmail-newu - prepare address assignments for qmail-lspawn SYNOPSIS qmail-newu DESCRIPTION qmail-newu reads the assignments in /var/qmail/users/assign and writes them into /var/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format suited for quick access by qmail- lspawn. If there is a problem with users/assign, qmail-newu complains and leaves users/cdb alone. qmail-newu ensures that users/cdb is updated atomically, so qmail-lspawn never has to wait for qmail-newu to finish. However, qmail-newu makes no attempt to protect against two simultaneous updates of users/cdb. The binary users/cdb format is portable across machines.

Re: [qmailtoaster] let another handle my email
Hello you ll notice that in the (if default setup) /var/qmail/users directory a file assign (text file) a binary file cdb (built from assign) and a lock file assign.lock When you add a new domain or a new domain alias that domain is added to the assign file and the cdb file is built The assign is a very important file, in the old days when the uid, gid of vpopmail wasnt fixed and specified to 89:89 you had to edit that assign file when you were migrating otherwise you d face big issues with permissions :) basically if you look at the file you can see : +domain_name-:domain_name:uid:gid:path_of_the_mail_boxes:-:: +dom1.com-:dom1.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/dom1.com:-:: - normal domain +dom2.com-:dom1.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/dom1.com:-:: - domain alias of dom1 I dont use that much that qmail-newu command but qmail-newmrh I use that almost every day to add domains to our front end smtp servers (scanners) If you are interested look at the vpopmail source package and vadddomain.c or vaddaliasdomain.c you ll understand what files are modified when you add or remove a domain and if you just want your smtp to accept mail for a specific domain but to deliver mail to another machine, that domain must be added to only one file but that's another subject Shai wrote: Hi Philip, Thanks for the tip... but I didn't understand it.
