vmailmgr does such a thing since there isn't just one user for all domains. It's quite handy, using ucspi-unix and having php talk to the socket and speaking a protocol. coupled with vmail.inc, you can do just about anything with vmailmgr and php. I think there's a squirrelmail plugin for it, which is pretty nice, since then users don't have to log into a seperate interface to change password, vacation reply, etc. I think a daemon would be an excellent addition to vpopmail. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchen @ #qmail on EFNet - Join the party! .....................
