+vmailmgr - a package to manage virtual mailboxes and aliases + +
+
+This document describes the vmailmgr package which contains, among other +things, a virtualizing password checking interface for qmail-pop3d. It is +intended as a drop-in replacement for the standard checkpassword utility +with several significant enhancements. + +
+One of the goals of building this package was to provide a usable virtual +mail interface that was efficient and as fully integrated into qmail as +possible. This means that this package attempts to use the same control +files that qmail uses to determine if a user is logging in via a virtual +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, +such as perl or java + +
+There is no need for an interpreter to reside on the system once the code +is compiled, eliminating concerns that such an interpreter could be used as +an exploit in itself. + +
