PASSWORD PROBLEM
Hi all, I've a kindda strange problem. I'm running sqwebmail. Now the problem is that when a user changes the password from sqwebmail, authentication fails when checked from any email client, though it works fine when logging in again from sqwebmail. Please help. Thanks in advance. Hemanta Sharma

(I'm assuming Russell meant that, with a filter to do tai64-tai64n conversion, it's supported.) In any case, I've attached a tar.gz file of what we use to generate MRTG graphs for our server using multilog log files. YMMV. That's what he must of meant. Because I tested using qmail-mrtg from the links, and multilog, and it doesn't work. A quick review of the code indicates that it only supports the cyclog output. Darn! I've been waiting to switch to multilog because of this. Ken

I also see that the line "CHKPASS="checkpassword"" is in my qmail-pop3d.init file. Anyone have any advice? Your startup line for pop3 is wrong. hence you are seeing the entry for the authentication program as your hostname. Maybe it's as simple as adding your hostname before the /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw Ken Jones

This has been changed. Download the latest release and you won't see this warning. It's a freebsd warning. Funny note: the latest beta mysql client libraries use mktemp and freebsd pumps out the same complaint when linking with mysql client Ken Jones

Re: Upgrading from 3.4.11...
James Beam wrote: Are there any issues I should know about when upgrading from vpopmail-3.4.11 to the latest version? I have a server that has been running for about a year now on version 3.4.11. I would like to upgrade it to the latest version if for no other reason than to have it consistent with my new server. It has about 3 dozen domains on it, and I do not want to interrupt mail service on those domains if at all possible. I am thinking this is just a compile like I did the previous version and install it? Thanks for any advice you folks can offer. James Beam It's as easy as: configure make make install-strip Two things will happen: 1) new binaries get copied into ~vpopmail/bin 2) the entire ~vpopmail tree will get recursively chowned/chgrp'd to vpopmail/vchkpw To be safe, you can back up your ~vpopmail/bin directory. If you are using roaming users. You might want to make the following change. mkdir ~vpopmail/etc mv /etc/tcp.* ~vpopmail/etc Then run configure, make, make install-strip edit your smtp startup line to use -x/home/vpopmai/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb (or where everthe home dir is) instead of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb The major change from 3.4 to 4.X is having the configure script look in ~vpopmail/etc for tcp.smtp then /etc. This is so you can run your pop server as vpopmail/vchkpw uid/gid instead of root.

how to set default domain
Hello, I have a question, which I hope is simple enough. If my domain is MYDOMAIN.NET and my machinename that qmail is running on is QMAIL, then when I set vpopmail up, I have a ~vpopmail/users/ directory. I then go and add the MYDOMAIN.NET with the vadddomain command, and now I also have ~vpopmail/domains/mydomain.net as a directory. On the advice of another qmail/vpopmail user, I set up a link from the users directory to the mydomain.net directory, so the local mail and the domain mail is the same # cd ~vpopmail # mv users users.bak # ln -s domains/mydomain.net users However, since I am still setting up and configuring this machine (qmail.mydomain.net), the MX record for my domain still points to another server running sendmail, so to get email here, I have to address the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which of course doesn't exist. So, I then created another link from that domain back to the main domain # cd ~vpopmail/domains # ln -s mydomain.net qmail.mydomain.net And all seems well. My quesion(s) are this: 1) Is this linking ok to do? Am I causing some unknown problem that I will regret later? 2) If not, how can I define the "default" domain to be "qmail.mydomain.net" so if it gets email for a user there, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it knows to stick it in the "users" directory and not the domains/qmail.mydomain.net Can I do this, and, do I want to? Any advice or experience would be most appreciated! Thanks! --Val [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: sqwebmail netscape
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me what kind of conditions would make sqwebmail say 'invalid request' when working in a message and then clicking the folders button? I think the server is fine, it runs all kinds of other things without problems. I think it must be something wrong with my Netscape since IE works fine every time, I would like to know where to look to find out what though.

Migration
I need to move a large database of users over to to qmail from sendmail, on different boxes. Is there a cheat I can use, so that while I am building the domain directory, I can still correctly use the qmail box to deliver mail to the domain remotely? (would deleting the line from the qmail assign file work?) I have a feeling I didnt express my needs as clearly as I should have, so if this is to garbled to make sense of, let me know and I'll try to rehash it. Thanks Jacob

I would also not use the ~vpopmail/users and link to the domain dir. Instead, I would configure vpopmail with "--enable-default-domain=MYDOMAIN.COM" plus your other options. Be sure to add users with vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not with vadduser username Ken

If you are asking, if you can use the qmail machine to receive the mail for a domain, but then have it sent the email off to the old sendmail machine. Yes you can do that. Look up the qmail control file smtproutes. That will route incoming smtp mail to the other machine. If you are wondering how to deliver locally generated email, via a sendmail script or qmail-inject running on the qmail machine. Then you can do that too. Remove the domain name from all qmail control files. Make sure to send qmail-send a HUP signal each time you modify the control files. If you want vpopmail to still work on the new machine, while you are working on it. Don't remove the domain from the assign file. The vpopmail library uses the assign/cdb file. Ken Jones
RE: Migration
I think that closest is what I want to do. Basically i want to have the domain totally set up (folders/users/mailing lists) on the qmail box but have the locally generated mail on the qmail box for that domain routed to somewhere else(the sendmail box). (External mail is already routed to the sendmail box for that domain). So I should remove the domain from the qmail/users/assign file and the others, and then HUP the qmail server, so it basically doesnt realize that I have setup the domain on the local machine? -Original Message- If you are wondering how to deliver locally generated email, via a sendmail script or qmail-inject running on the qmail machine.
