Still would like an answer on whats the real difference between a global config or user config. Which is better for a tmda-cgi setup?
It's just like global and per-user files for e.g. bash - the global file sets values that all users see, and the per-user file can override these settings as appropriate.
For example, on my system, I set all the path variables (e.g. incoming filter name, log file names) in the global file (using os.path.expanduser("~/XXX") so that all users have a standard layout for their ~/.tmda directory. On the other hand, some variables such as USERNAME, HOSTNAME, FULLNAME only make sense per-user, so they go in the per-user file.
I'm not sure that using tmda-cgi really affects this at all. Personally, I don't use tmda-cgi for setting up users (since there are only 2 on my system anyway), but just for viewing config files and the pending list.
