Could that be done in a virtual mode? I mean: a) the clients logs in with a special form of username, lets say instead "cli...@domain" he uses "cli...@domain#noattach". This lets dbmail-(pop| imap) switch to URL mode instead. For POP this only works if messages are left on the server of course. (Maybe just forbid to delete mails for POP when in #noattach mode). b) Client gets, instead attachment, an URL like http://dbmailwebserver/virtualurl. Whenever this URL gets called, a script is executed checking login, and if this passes start the download directly from the dbmail database, without needing to copy the file to the filesystem. Maybe that needs to be done, but only as a temporary file that's deleted after the download. What I'd not want is to copy all attach files where an URL is generated to be copied to the filesystem, just in case someone wants to download it. Sounds very nice, all mobile users would love that! mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
