Hrm... the clever way would be to use a directory or database instead of virtusertable. The kludge would be to tell your users to have a file in their home directory (call it aliases for sake of argument) and then write a quick shell script to grab these files, combine them all into one virtusertable and then run makemap on them. Either force the user to use a format such as 'bob@domain.com joe@aol.com' or better (and safer because you really don't want them putting in a domain that isn't theirs) tell them to use a format of 'bob joe@aol.com' and then your script puts the domain name on. Set the default '@domain.com' to go to the first user in the file or something. A config file that says 'domain_name username' would allow you to set things up and keep it simple. -Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holtor" <holtor@yahoo.com> To: <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 2:44 PM Subject: virtusertable > Hello all, > > Does anyone know of a good way to give web hosting > customers access to modify their own e-mail aliases > for their domain using virtusertable? > > I was thinking something like > > /etc/mail/virtusertable: > @domain.com /usr/home/$user/.aliases > > Then in .aliases > user1 user@hotmail.com > user4 user@yahoo.com > > Of course this does not work .. any ideas? > > TIA > > Holt > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
