Re: 'Password Change' plugin can't change password of remote mail server

You need to install poppasswd daemon on the mail server and configure the Change_pass plugin to point to that mail server. Then the Change password will work. Follow the link below:

Subject: [SM-PLUGINS] 'Password Change' plugin can't change password of remote mail server


Hi all,
 I have faced a typical problem few days ago. In my office I have two different server for mail system, one for mail service and another for http service. Squirrellmail is installed in http server. SquirrellMail retrieves and sends mails to/from mail server. There is no problem at all.

 Problem arise when I try to install "Password Change" plugin in squirrellmail. Our mail authentication system is based on /etc/password or /etc/shadow files, and it resides in mail server, but squirrellmail is installed in http server. The plugin which is available for download from squirrellmail website can change the password of local server only where it is installed.

 Have any one faced this problem before?

regards,
Nirmalya Lahiri
