Hi there!
Well, if I have voice for it, I agree with many of the issues here.=20
First of all, I am the only guilt of the "-ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS
command (POP)" for this case, as I didn't thoroughly read the docs..=20
Anyways, I think as a good benefit for all the logging of "I was not
able to find 'the_file.tab', so quitting. RTFM XDDD!!"
Personaly, I am not too keen to autocreate missing files. Or if it has
to be someday that way, please, make this functionability suitable to be
activated through a flag a startup (and not to be the option by
default). Kind of 'system tuning up'..

Anyways I have to mention that for me it has been the easiest to setup I
ever used. It is just great!!=20
Just the issue about logging, but anyways the code is so clear and
clean..=20

Thanks!!!

J. Carlos Muro

Davide, Sarcasm is not your best suit.

Let me put it to you this way.

If the files & folders xmail requires, are not all there at xmail
startup
time, then xmail should stop, rather than continuing.

This has the following benefits:
1. The administrator will *know* that file 'aaaaa' is missing and will
go &
fix it.
2. The administrator will likely resolve their problem without sending
help
requests here.

Now #2 is a good thing I think.

Just look at the subject line on this..... Invalid syntax on PASS
command
(POP)...
How does that assist an administrator to look at the pop3links.tab file
and
find it is not there.

You're not making us self sufficient.

Oh, and your last comment...
"How about you take care and configure your system software correctly
instead?"
I agree, but in the real world, stuff happens and some diagnostics would
help.

I'm not asking for much...
"Xmail error: required file pop3links.tab not found."

Rob :-)

Why stopping there? Why not having XMail to automatically guess missing=20
configuration files?
How about you take care and configure your system software correctly=20
instead?
