<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
|
|
|
33 |
<p>This document describes the vmailmgr package which contains, among other
|
|
|
34 |
things, a virtualizing password
|
|
|
35 |
checking interface for qmail-pop3d.
|
|
|
36 |
It is intended as a drop-in replacement for the standard checkpassword
|
|
|
37 |
utility with several significant enhancements.</p>
|
|
|
38 |
<p>One of the goals of building this package was to provide a usable virtual
|
|
0
|
39 |
mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into qmail as
|
|
2
|
40 |
possible.
|
|
|
41 |
This means that this package attempts to use the same control files that
|
|
|
42 |
qmail uses to determine if a user is logging in via a virtual host.
|
|
|
43 |
It also implies that all programs should be compiled for two reasons:</p>
|
|
|
44 |
<ol>
|
|
|
45 |
<li></li>
|
|
|
46 |
Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an
|
|
|
47 |
interpreter, such as perl or java
|
|
|
48 |
<p></p>
|
|
|
49 |
<li></li>
|
|
|
50 |
There is no need for an
|
|
|
51 |
interpreter to reside on the system once the code is compiled, eliminating
|
|
|
52 |
concerns that such an interpreter could be used as an exploit in itself.
