Great, now I have to change my whole mail system *sniffle*
This is going to be fun :(
Umh, why? Can't you simply name another user (perhaps 'mailadmin' or
something like that) as the administrator in the cyrus config? Why are
you giving clients admin rights?
We run VPSs ... each VPS has their own cyrus instance running, one
instance per client ... each cyrus instance can run multiple domains
(virt-domains), and each one of the owners of the domain has the ability
to create/remove accounts ...
So ... I had to modify all of the various scripts to connect for admin
as 'cyrus' vs 'admin' (done) and the GUI interface as well ... the GUI
interfce was easy, since its in one place ... the scripts are more fun,
since we currently have >300 VPSs that need to be 'upgraded' ...
Time consuming mostly ...
Mark, I think you misread. "as an admin", not "as 'admin'" If "cyrus"
is an admin, you can login as cyrus and upload the scripts...
