I don't want to run ftp on my server. I'm not sure exactly what your setup is, but, all you are doing is changi= ng=20 each user's .procmailrc file. I assume that hacking squirrelmail to use a= =20 more secure protocol like scp is not easily done, so perhaps you would be= =20 better off writing an HTML form that inputs the rules each user wants to=20 implement and then write some PHP code to formulate the rules in .procmai= lrc=20 format and scp to transfer them to the user's .promailrc file. If you use= =20 private/public key encryption with private and public keys, you can make = this=20 seamless (not ask for a password for each transfer, etc). Well.it's one way of doing it...you may get better answers. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
