This document describes the vmailmgr package which contains, among other
|
|
|
33 |
things, a virtualizing password checking interface for qmail-pop3d. It is
|
|
|
34 |
intended as a drop-in replacement for the standard checkpassword utility
|
|
|
35 |
with several significant enhancements.

One of the goals of building this package was to provide a usable virtual
|
|
|
39 |
mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into qmail as
|
|
|
40 |
possible. This means that this package attempts to use the same control
|
|
|
41 |
files that qmail uses to determine if a user is logging in via a virtual
|
|
|
42 |
host. It also implies that all programs should be compiled for two reasons:

Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an interpreter,
|
|
|
48 |
such as perl or java
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
<LI>
|
|
|
51 |
<P>
|
|
|
52 |
There is no need for an interpreter to reside on the system once the code
|
|
|
53 |
is compiled, eliminating concerns that such an interpreter could be used as
|
|
|
54 |
an exploit in itself.
