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 changing each user's .procmailrc file. I assume that hacking squirrelmail to use a more secure protocol like scp is not easily done, so perhaps you would be better off writing an HTML form that inputs the rules each user wants to implement and then write some PHP code to formulate the rules in .procmailrc format and scp to transfer them to the user's .promailrc file. If you use private/public key encryption with private and public keys, you can make this 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
