QMail is already running, hence this email;-) Mysql was installed with Mandrake 8.2. Created database with webmin. Did the ./configure. When running make receive errors and I think only the first one counts as the others are related to it. The error is: vauth.c:35: parse error before 'mysql_update' Below is what is at line 35 in vauth.c: static MYSQL mysql_update Any suggestions please.

It totally eliminates the .cdb files One of the benefits of this is it allows you to easily write web based tools (eg in ASP or PHP) that can talk to the database and then present easy to use interface for your support staff to manage the user accounts. Also, you can add additional columns to the database to store other per-user information without affecting the operation of vpopmail If you are having trouble compiling/installing vpopmail w/MySQL, I have a quick guide available online at http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/vpopmail-mysql.htm Maybe take a look there to see if it helps solve your install problems. Hope that helps!
