[vchkpw] thx all
Hello Jonas, Thanks for all the help. I just symlinked /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb and everything works fine. Thanks again:) Trevor On Tue, 2003-02-11 at 19:37, Jonas Pasche wrote: Hi Trevor, first of all, please read: http://jonaspasche.de/common-errors/bad-thread-start I have an issue where in /home/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp gets created but ~/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb doesn't get created at all. Please show us your full ./configure line. drwxr-xr-x2 vpopmail vchkpw112 Feb 6 15:07 . drwxr-xr-x8 root root 192 Feb 5 19:17 .. -rw-r--r--1 root root 54 Feb 6 15:07 open-smtp -rw-r--r--1 root root0 Feb 5 19:19 open-smtp.lock The configure script tries to find: 1) $vpopmaildir/etc/tcp.smtp 2) /etc/tcp.smtp 3) /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd As it didn't find 1), it took /etc/tcp.smtp which (I guess, but you can check it) exists. [...] /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c [...] So you're actively _using_ /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb, why are you waiting for ~vpopmail/tcp.smtp.cdb?

It's wrong. 1) -x is an argument for tcpserver. You entered it as an argument for qmail-pop3d. Remove it. 2) -x expects a cdb file (tcp.smtp.cdb), not a text file (tcp.smtp). 3) qmail-pop3d doesn't need that file at all. 4) FQDN should have been replaced with your fully-qualified hostname. Though in the above scripts i am forcing updation of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb No, you don't. What makes you think you do? While compiling i have even specified at the CLI the path to the tcp.smtp.cdb filebut neither the /etc nor the ~/vpopmail/etc/*.cdb files are getting created/updated. Again, don't tell us the interpretation of what you did; show us your full ./configure line. And fix your startup scripts. After that, we can go further. Am in quite a fix..seems to be a very trivial issue but is really nagging me as i have to push our organisations mail server into production state. If you're in a hurry, http://qmail.org/top.html#paidsup lists some companies that do commercial support. Jonas
[vchkpw] tcp.smtp issue
Hi, How do i change tcp.smtp.cdb from /etc to /home/vpopmail/etc ? Everything is working fine, but when i use my Outlook to check my messages i got the following error. 'tcprules: fatal: unable to create /etc/tcp.smtptmp.4236: access denied' If a change to owership of /etc to vpopmail.vchkpw everything works, but i don't wan to do this. Is there any other way? Thanks Thiago
[vchkpw] Any easy way to change path to vpopmail?
Hi all, using standard vpopmail, no mysql, is there any easy way to move the entire mail system to another server who's path to the vpopmail directory would optimally be different? The path of course is stored in /var/qmail/users as well as vpasswd and the .qmail alias files. I'm guessing I'm going to be using a symbolic link on the new server to simulate the old but can I start using the new correct paths for new domains or do I need to remain consistent? Thanks, David

A symbolic link is the only thing that prevents you from recompiling vpopmail. The path is not only used in qmail files, but also hard coded into various vpopmai components, so I'd either stick with the old path and use it for new things too (plus s-link of course), or recompile vpopmail, which takes more effort, albeit old paths don't have to be adjusted, the sym-link will preserve the compatibility in that case too. -- Peter

[vchkpw] newbie questions, pop3d login fails (qmail + vpopmail + mysql + courier-imap)
Hello all, I am having trouble getting vpopmail (I think that's where the problem is) to function correctly. The problem is that I get authorization failed when I try and authenticate over POP. Here is my setup: 1. I have installed mysql, I can connect to mysql as the vpopmail user, and I can view the vpopmail databases as that user. 2. I have configured vmysql.h with the correct hosts, usernames, and passwords. 3. I have compiles vpopmail with the following options: ./configure --enable-mysql=y --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-valias=y 4. I have, of course, installed qmail and am trying to connect to qmail-pop3d. I cannot see (perhaps I do not know where to look) where it is failing. I have looked at /var/log/messages (syslog), /var/log/qmail/current, and /var/log/qmail/pop3d/current, but none of those files give me any hints as to why the login fails. I would appreciate any help. After I tackle this problem, I will try and get courier-imap to work. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Send Flowers for Valentine's Day http://shopping.yahoo.com
[vchkpw] login to pop3d fails
Hello, I have installed qmail and vpopmail. vpopmail works with mysql. ps axwww | grep qmail shows no errors and all services are up more than one second. I can add domains and users on the command line in /home/vpopmail/bin. vpopmail adds domains and users correct to the mysql database. The qmail server listens to smtp and pop3. When I try to send or get mail the authentification fails. Do I have to modify the run script in /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run ? How can I tell qmail to check username/password in /bin/checkpassword ? Thanks for help. Best regards, Roland

RE: [vchkpw] login to pop3d fails
You don't use /bin/checkpassword anymore.. vpopmail doesn't use the local password file, it has it's own password checking utility (/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw). -Clayton -Original Message- From: Roland Schmid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 2:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] login to pop3d fails Hello, I have installed qmail and vpopmail. vpopmail works with mysql. ps axwww | grep qmail shows no errors and all services are up more than one second.

[vchkpw] mysql - anything I should look out for?
Hi, Having previously used vpopmail-5.3.12 with no database support I've just converted to using mysql with vpopmail-5.3.16. I built vpopmail using the following script: ./configure \ --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtp \ --enable-logging=e \ --enable-log-name=vpopmail \ --enable-default-domain=robinbowes.com \ --enable-file-sync=n \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-qmail-ext=y \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ --enable-valias=y \ --enable-roaming-users=y \ --enable-mysql=y \ make \ make install-strip I then ran vconvert -c -m. Is that it? Is that all I have to do? That seems outrageously easy!! A couple of problems I've noticed. vdominfo doesn't report the correct number of users per domain following conversion and also, aliased domains are not reported correctly, ie they are reported as being the same name as the aliased domain. For example, see the following dump: domain: robinbowes.com uid:89 gid:89 dir:/home/vpopmail/domains/robinbowes.com users: 0 domain: robinbowes.com uid:89 gid:89 dir:/home/vpopmail/domains/robinbowes.com users: 0 domain: robinbowes.com uid:89 gid:89 dir:/home/vpopmail/domains/robinbowes.com users: 0 domain: orhc.info uid:89 gid:89 dir:/home/vpopmail/domains/orhc.info users: 0 domain: orhc.info uid:89 gid:89 dir:/home/vpopmail/domains/orhc.info users: 0 This should show just two domains, one with two aliased domains and one with one aliased domain. I have a handful of users in each of the two real domains. I've fixed this by updating the cur_users field in the dir_control table. Also, when I did the conversion, entries were created in the vpopmail table for users in all of the aliased domains. For example, I have a domain robinbowes.com and an aliased domain skittle.demon.co.uk. In robinbowes.com I have 5 users robin,chloe,emily,jane, and postmaster. When I ran vconvert, entries were created in the vpopmail table for [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. and also for [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. Is this supposed to happen? I've deleted these additional entries from the vpopmail table without any apparent side effects, i.e. I can still login as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cheers, R. -- Robin Bowes | http://robinbowes.com
