VMAILMGR(7) VMailMgr Tools Documentation VMAILMGR(7)NAMEvmailmgr - a package to manage virtual mailboxes and aliases
DESCRIPTION
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:
1. Compiled code will be more efficient than code executed by an
interpreter, such as perl or java
2. 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.
