Re: [vchkpw] vget_assign returns only real domain
Hi Tom, The tricky part is ezmlm (and always has been). If you create a mailing list, it will typically only work for the domain you created it in, and none of the aliases. Exactly; that's why I wanted the user to choose in which of his n alias domains he wants to create the list instead of forcing him to use his main domain - and the easiest way (from the user's perspective) is to re-use the domain name from the login. Anyway, even if my quick hack in vpopmail.c seems to work for non-MySQL setups, I'll place a feature suggestion on the qmailadmin list. Thanks for all your input, Jonas

Jonas Pasche said: Is there any possibility to remove that functionality and let vget_assign return the same domain name it got from the user's input? Will other things break without this functionality? From what I remember, it does need to be this way. A particular example I can think of is when using the MySQL backend, SQL queries are built using the domain name returned by vget_assign, and unless the real domain is used, the SQL is going to fail.

Michael. We should add another flag of some sort to vget_assign which is 0 by default, but in programs like qmailadmin can be set to 1, to make it return the domain the user logged in with, and not the "real" domain. This would then no break anything, and only qmailadmin would he to be rewritten. X Note: This is just an idea.
Re: [vchkpw] vget_assign returns only real domain
Hi there, We should add another flag of some sort to vget_assign which is 0 by default, but in programs like qmailadmin can be set to 1, to make it return the domain the user logged in with, and not the real domain. This would then no break anything, and only qmailadmin would he to be rewritten. This is an interesting idea. For now, as I don't use the SQL functionality, this simple patch seems to work: --- vpopmail-5.2.2.original/vpopmail.c 2003-12-03 03:36:57.0 +0100 +++ vpopmail-5.2.2/vpopmail.c 2003-12-03 02:56:24.0 +0100 @@ -1933,7 +1933,7 @@ i = fread(tmpbuf,sizeof(char),dlen,fs); /* get the domain line */ -strcpy(domain, tmpbuf); +/* strcpy(domain, tmpbuf); */ /* get the uid */ ptr = tmpbuf; Again, I don't have a complete overview if this may break other things. It will break SQL support for alias domains, thanks Michael for your insightful comment. Anyway, it did quite some tests this night and found no problems. After recompiling qmailadmin to link against the patched vpopmail lib, qmailadmin works as expected, showing the domain name the user used while logging in instead of the real domain. Jonas
