Re: [vchkpw] alias support via vpopmail in PHP
P.S: though I have valias support enabled and it seems to be working fine (can use command line valias to add re-director (as well as test it), php refuses to add support for it. Have re-built from clean tree sources for vpopmail as well as php, no luck. Though not a vpopmail problem, if anyone has any idea why this may be, I'd appreciate it some guidance. -mustafa. the vpopmail extension (you might want to try mine, as it has some important fixes for alias domains) is checking for valias support by looking for the library call valias_select you might want to try: strings ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a | grep valias_select to check whether this function really is in your libvpopmail.a oh.. and you can find my php vpopmail extension at http://www.ionium.org/php/php_vpopmail-0.1.tar.gz -- Best Regards, Justin Heesemann

We run a control panel written (in-house) in php which used to take care of adding / deleting users before we had moved to vpopmail. The new mail server however works in a jailed freebsd environment and does not offer direct access to commands, and in our limited environment, we don't want to offer qmailadmin to our clients.

One sends authenticated internal posts (via ssl) to the this gateway -- the gateway is running as vpopmail and carries out the requests. The response is sent back to our control panel as an xml document. This solves many issues and offers great flexibility. I finished implementing the code yesterday and it's all working well. Enough with the background, on with the problem. The valias function is not support by php as the functionality is left out of vpopmail itself (please correct me if I am wrong), and I the way around this, as far as I can figure out, is writing a .qmail-user file in the domains/domainname.com directory with the | vdelivermail line for the new email address. As the (xml) server is running as vpopmail, this is hardly a problem to do -- however, I was curious if this would be the most sound method. What do you guys think? Am I overlooking something very obvious or is writing a file manually a good solution? I appreciate your comments.
