I use TMDA along with the Courier MTA, and all my email users have virtual email directories that are not owned by them. I have set this up in one of the standard Courier manners, such that each user's email lives in a "Maildir" under the directory /var/vmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED], where "user" is the email user ID, and "domain.com" is the email virtual domain. All of these directories are owned by the same Unix user "vmail" and group "vmail".
This is not managed via VPopMail, but rather, via Courier's own methods. When I run all TMDA programs and utilities, I want each user's HOME directory to resolve to "/var/vmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and each user's uid to be "vmail" and each user's gid to be "vmail". Then, I want each user's ".tmda" directory to be searched for here: /var/vmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/.tmda I have script called "vmailinfo" which takes a user's login ID as an argument, and which prints out the user's virtual home directory, virtual uid, and virtual gid to stdout. For example, if Unix user "misteruser" has a virtual email address of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then running vmailinfo would give these results: % vmailinfo misteruser /var/vmail/[EMAIL PROTECTED] vmail vmail How can I use this script or something similar in conjunction with TMDA in order to cause it to resolve the user's virtual email home to the values I use on my system? This needs to work with tmda-pending as well as tmda-filter and any and all other tmda utilities. In the past, I hacked the TMDA source code to do this, but I don't want to have to do this any more, as I have to repeat this hack every time that I upgrade TMDA. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you might have. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] God bless you. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
