Apache permissions..

I'm making an email administration site which adds and removes email addresses on servers. I'm using Apache and Qmail.

I've got it creating the emails OK except I cant edit them. The directories are made with drwx------ permissions when they need to be drwxrwx---

To create the email address I run a binary through PHP which runs as the owner (vpopmail) so the email directories are owned by that user. So the apache user can't access these directories when it goes to edit them later.

Any ideas?

Check vqadmin and another of their relevant software.

Or you can write setuid vpopmail CGI scripts or even setgid vchkpw for that.
