RE: [vps-mail] white/blacklist user_prefs editors

[Matt Cohen <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's what I did:

1)downloaded the tarball, set it up in /www/htdocs/webprefs/

2)edited config.php, removed comments from line 32: 
require("auth/pop3.php"); , made no other changes to config file

3)After some testing, found out that the .spamassassin directory in 
the user's folder has to be set to 777 (or probably could be set 
lower with some user:group changes too, but I didn't play with that), 
and the user_prefs file in that folder set to 666.

That's it - all worked fine from there.  Basically, i'm just using 
the person's pop username & password to login.  Of course, I have 
users that don't know their pop password..

...

Me: ok, just enter your email password:
User: but I don't have a password!?  I just open outlook and click 
'send/receive' and i've never been asked for a password ?

...

HTH,
Matt
