Re: [courier-users] spamc, virtual accounts and user_prefs

ok, I think I have it working now. However, I thought I should point out that your hard-coded location of the socket file isn't a good idea. I use the rpm built straight from sam's tarballs, and it puts the socket into /var/spool/courier/authdaemon/socket I modified my copy of AuthCourier.pm to

[courier-users] regex/pattern .courier-user files?

curious... At some point in the past I decided to track which companies might sell my email address, so following the pattern of a friend, I've started submitting email addresses in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED] - it works great, and I've even been able to bitch at a couple of companies for viola

[courier-users] courier userdb and user-changed passwords?

I currently use courier for my mail server for a handful of friends/family and about 8 domain names (around 30-40 users). Because the interface is better for novice users, I've set up Horde/IMP as my preferred webmail server. However, it seems that courier's is the only password-changing module m
