RE: What is the best way?

2003-04-02 14:15:39
had a look around google and says to use the .qmail-default file and a
procmailrc file in
/home/vpopmail/domain1.com/username/Maildir but I can't find anything
on
how users
can edit this. All users are virtual users therefore they don't have
shell access.

Then, you'll need to provide them with something like a web management 
interface for your users (wherein the webserver could update the files).

Before you ask, no, procmail doesn't include one.

You could set up something whereby users could _email_ their updated 
procmailrc, either to a system address, or to themselves (you could
manage 
it from within an /etc/procmailrc, or a wrapper around the user's actual

procmailrc file).  An issue would be confirming the change - probably
the 
easiest way would be to have the system then mail the user with a
"you've 
requested the following change, please confirm with this magic 
number..."  Of course, if they've got a bodged procmailrc, they may
never 
see it, and if you bypass their procmailrc to deposit directly into
their 
mailspool, they might not receive it because their procmailrc may be 
forwarding messages elsewhere.

Thanks for the ideas,  i'm currently thinking along the lines of
allowing the user to modify
their procmailrc file via a web interface (maybe hack the current
Squirrel Mail procmailrc
edit file), I dunno.
