The email functions of my XMail server is working perfectly (sending emails, receiving emails, virus+spam, rbl check). If you have a single domain with 2k users, try a telnet to port 6017 and make a userlist for that domain and you'll know what I mean. It's too expensive for a PHP application to manage those users this way. So, an hybrid solution would be perfect. The PHP application would get information from a SQL database and change them via XMail admin connection. I already have this solution running and it is very fast, the only thing is missing is that I would like to distinguish among normal users and mailing list, and this must be done while you are adding the user. This way, my userauth external binary need to get this information when XMail calls it to add a new user. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
