[vps-mail] Overloaded Outgoing mailbox

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When someone sends email from their iManager account, there is a checkbox to
"Save Copy of Outgoing Message to Mail Folder: ~/Mail/outgoing". By default,
this is checked. This was not a good design, methinks. Users don't notice it
and because of this, their mail quota keeps going over the limit. After a
few times of telling them that each time they send an email, they must
uncheck that or go out and clean out their outgoing box often, I went in and
changed it so that it defaults to being unchecked and the user can check it
to save a copy if they wish. Much better.

Here's how I did it for anyone interested (and hopefully for future
upgrades??).

/usr/local/apache/htdocs/imanager/library/mm_compose.pl and in Line 800 find
the second "yes" and change it to "no":

    formInput("type", "checkbox", "name", 'send_fcc', "value", "yes",
              "_OTHER_", ($g_form{'send_fcc'} eq "yes") ? "CHECKED" : "");
    htmlText("$MAILMANAGER_MESSAGE_FCC\:");

    formInput("type", "checkbox", "name", 'send_fcc', "value", "yes",
              "_OTHER_", ($g_form{'send_fcc'} eq "no") ? "CHECKED" : "");
    htmlText("$MAILMANAGER_MESSAGE_FCC\:");

That's all there is to it. I guess I'll need to save these notes for any
upgrades that set it back again unless the fix is included in the upgrade
<hint, hint>.
