It is same script. I've never said that it is mine. Original script was created by Michael Blandford and Tal Yardenis. Tonny Earnshaw posted modified version. Versions posted to mailing list did not set licensing suitable for distribution with SquirrelMail. I've contacted original developer and asked to license it under GPL. Response is posted on cvs logs. Current script version gets all options from command line arguments and fixes some address book and signature issues present in original scripts. Script does not support data directory hashing. Backup your data directory before you use the script or make sure that script can't modify files in data directory. Feedback, patches and comments are welcome on squirrelmail-devel list. > Also has anyone started on a plugin to have this script run and insert > the sql into the database when the user logs in? This avoid having to > manually export and reimport thousands of user pref and abook files. Such plugin won't be implemented in perl. It should implement both preference backends in php classes and add couple of functions that are not present in current db preference class. Work on such plugin can improve current SquirrelMail preference system and make it more modulized. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
