Why do > you think TMDA "needs work" in that regard? In my case I think it's tmda-cgi that needs work in that area more than TMDA itself. TMDA-CGI doesn't yet include the concept of a domain administrator or domain-wide whitelists, or ACL lists, etc... (NOTE: I'm not griping, I'm just trying to provide helpful feedback) I just upgraded my mail server to the latest production TMDA and TMDA-CGI this past month after two years of running an 0.7x and early .8x version and qadmin-tmda instead of TMDA-CGI. TMDA-CGI, after a few vpopmail/virtual- domain specific patches is LIGHTYEARS ahead of qadmin-tmda. Thanks Gre7g! Very nice work! However, the upgrade taught me a few things, one of which is that TMDA itself desperately needs to grow a solid working concept of the virtual domain. I run vpopmail on my server, and currently we have to provide each user with their own TMDA config file so that TMDA can find their whitelists and such. This makes upgrades complicated (deprecated options have to be removed from hundreds of config files, etc...) and shouldn't be necessary. We should be able to use /etc/tmdarc to provide the default config, and let the users CREATE THEIR OWN config file, if desired, from TMDA-CGI to override the system or domain wide defaults, but we can't currently. Of course, TMDA-CGI still doesn't provide an easy graphical way to manipulate config files and provide config file ACLs yet either, so overriding a default config becomes a moot point because users can't be trusted to modify a complicated text config file by hand without breaking something. But frankly, the single thing that disturbs me most right now is that both Jason and Gre7g seem AWOL. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
