I'm about to install Neomail on my Raq3. The question is:

can I decide which sites get neomail, or will every existing site/new site created get the webmail interface?

I want to be able to decide which sites get webmail and which don't. I mean, some users love webmail and others hate it, so I don't want everybody to get webmail by default.

Any suggestions?

As default all sites get webmail/Neomail. Unfortunately, I don`t know a way around this.

But, is it a problem that everyone gets access to webmail? Those that don`t want to use it can just pop or forward their mail...

Can anyone tell me what this centralized version of neomail installs and how it is supposed to work?

http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/all/neomail-1.25-5.pkg

I mean, does it work like webalizer, parsing every site, and adding a /stats dir? I want to know if I can somehow delete the neomail files that belong to a certain site. I have some users that are not too skilled with their sites and keep on messing around with their directories. If the program automatically adds something they don't know, they will probably delete it or just get confused. That is why I'm asking about this issue.

Does this version of neomail automatically create a /webmail dir for every new site that is added via the GUI? If someone deleted those files, would the system re-create them automatically?

Thank you for your help.

Neomail create mail folder under the users directory after that user use neomail for the very first time.

If the user does not user neomail, it will not create anything at all.

The simple answer is to just not tell those users that you don't want to use it that it's there.

IIRC, Neomail will not install any files in the /home/site/sitex tree regardless if it's used or not by that site.

I think all the user preferences remain under /home/neomail, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, if you're determined to physically limit access to NeoMail, you can take the global redirect out of srm.conf and manually put it in the virtual site containers for those sites that you WANT to have access.

Hope that helps.

OK, I've already installed the package.

I really thank you for your invaluable help.
