dont put it into the svn unless my update script is ready. So we dont break current installations. I need just 1 or 2 days to finish my work

And! please make some code comments

hm, ok. This script won't break any installation (but the other enhancement scripts which need the field, maybe will :-). The update script just needs to fill in the complete mail address for all records where it's missing...

And hey: it's svn - so people should have a look about it. For the RC4 of course we need the update part.

Question we should maybe discuss: as a first start, we only fill the field for the real mail boxes - right? In a second step, we maybe could use it also for the forwardings - but this is far less important...

PS: I did comment the 6 lines... of course (just took some old code out so it will be cleaned)

If your code would be inserted with my db update functionality, we just have to provide one update function for my db update fuctionality. Very easy thing.

I would like to fill the field for every mail box. It wouldnt hurt

Hi Zothos
(I think I'll split this thread...)

ok, let's ship it together... is it a standalone db updater just for this thing. A PHP file which can be launched to (re)fill the mail_addr field?

what do we want to do with the catchall entries?
- domain.tld
- @domain.tld
- *@domain.tld
- Null/empty

I'll have to add some more lines for the forwarding entries (and maybe catchall) - abd also for the 3 standard accounts...
