Probably at my request - I have a virtual domain setup, but it isn't using
vpopmail/whatever - it's basically a custom setup based off some
how-to-setup-a-popmail-toaster pages I found on the 'net
My virtual users are stored in e.g.:
/var/qmail/popboxes/wwwdotorg.org/swarren/
I haven't been following this thread this time... When the original RE
change was made, I suggested requiring the VLOOKUP script to print the
user's domain name, instead of using an RE to determine it from the HOME
directory.
Since the virtual user system knows this information, it seems having it
tell tmda-cgi what the information is keeps tmda-cgi from having explicit
knowledge of virtual user schemes or directory layout.
I don't know if the standard virtual user schemes print this information
from their script, but a wrapper around the vpopmail system couldn't be
that hard, or perhaps vpopmail is such that when calling the vuserinfo
script, you've already parsed the login ID into user/domain portions so
you can just return it directly? Certainly, the script I use as a
vpopmail1 VLOOKUP script accepts user_id and domain arguments, so the
information is already there. For the qmailuserassign, it could be
modified to search /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains to convert the name
in users/assign to domain name.
