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 |
|
39 mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into qmail as |
|
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. |
