[vchkpw] Help please, double message
Hi folks, need an help. I set up my qmail-vpopmail system to filter mail via maildrop. So i put this two lines in my .qmail-default file | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox | /usr/bin/maildropmailfilter Where mailfilter is my mail filter file that moves spam messages in a different folder. The problem is that in this manner all messages are sent twice in mailbox. Obviously, removing the firt line solve the problem, but invalid addresses are no more notified. TIA Ciao Gianni

| /usr/bin/maildropmailfilter
[...]
Obviously, removing the firt line solve the problem, but invalid
addresses are no more notified.
As yet there is no official solution to having user mail filters
automatically acted upon, but one is being worked on. An interim
solution is to create a .qmail file in the user's directory (e.g.,
/home/vpopmail/domains/your.domain/user/.qmail with the line
| /usr/bin/maildrop .mailfilter
Note that this .qmail file is NOT processed if mail is delivered
to the Maildir by an alias. Qmailadmin generates aliases which
deliver direct to the Maildir (.qmail-user contains a path to the
Maildir) although this will change (has changed?) so that qmailadmin
crates aliases which actually work like forwards so that the users'
.qmail file is always processed.
An unofficial solution for use with vpopmail and the filters created by
sqwebmail, is as follows. You may be able to adapt it to whatever you're
using. Basically, the patch means that if there is no .qmail file in the
user's directory but it finds a .mailfilter file then it pretends that
it found a .qmail file containing the line shown in the interim solution.
If you're not using sqwebmail to generate filters then you'll have to
modify it accordingly.
1) Create /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/maildirfilterconfig (that's the
default location, you may have told sqwebmail to put its shared stuff
elsewhere) with the lines:
MAILDIRFILTER=../.maildirfilter
MAILDIR=./Maildir
2) In vdelivermail.c, replace the function (and comments preceding it)
with this:
/* Check if the vpopmail user has a .qmail file in thier directory
* and foward to each email address, Maildir or program that is found
* there in that file. If there is no .qmail file but there is a
# .mailfilter file then invoke maildrop on the filter file.
*
* Return: 1 if we found and delivered email using .qmail or .mailfilter
* : 0 if not found either .qmail or .mailfilter
* : -1 if no user .qmail file or .mailfilter file
*
*/
int check_forward_deliver(char *dir)
{
static char qmail_line[500];
char tmpbuf[500];
FILE *fs;
int i;
int return_value = 0;
int deliver_err;
chdir(dir);
/* format the file name */
if ( (fs = fopen(.qmail,r)) == NULL ) {
/* no .qmail file, so check for .mailfilter */
if ( (fs = fopen(.mailfilter,r)) == NULL ) {
/* no .qmail or .mailfilter file, so return -1 */
return(-1);
}
/* there was no .qmail file but there was a .mailfilter
* file so invoke maildrop */
strcpy(tmpbuf, | /usr/local/bin/maildrop .mailfilter);
deliver_err = deliver_mail(tmpbuf, NOQUOTA);
if (deliver_err == -2) {
printf(system error\n);
vexit(111);
} else if (deliver_err == -3) {

Somebody know others webmail based in C++? while i agree that php/perl based products use more CPU, it's not helpful to say that they _don't_ work with very [many] users, as it's simply untrue. I'm running squirrelmail and it runs just fine - on a Sun Ultra 2 200mhz. not exactly a speed demon. i *am* using a software PHP accelerator, and there's no good reason for anyone to run squirrelmail without one - it dramatically reduces CPU demand. squirrelmail is debateably the best webmail client around. My customers prefer it by a large margin over the other three webmail interfaces i offer (as mentioned before, TWIG, IMP, and sqwebmail). sqwebmail is frankly quite lame in my opinion. it's extremely thin on features, as apparently the author considers features to be bugs. the performance benefit of a webmail client that acts directly on the maildir is offset by the dreary, featureless interface. imnshfo Paul Theodoropoulos http://www.anastrophe.com

did you configure for your mysql user/password in vmysql.h? if not, amend the entries and recompile. also, did you create the tables or check that they were created? did you allow mysql access from within mysql? did you 'flush priviledges' to make the privs stick in mysql?

Hi jon kutassy writes: I took the windoze approach and restarted mysql, and its all working fine!! Which has the same effect as the suggestion in an earlier reply: flush privileges, but results in a longer outage of mysql. An alternative to doing flush privileges from the mysql client is to do a mysqladmin flush-privileges (or mysqladmin reload which means the same thing but is less typing). And you didn't use the Windows approach. The Windows approach is to reboot the computer any time you make a change. In fact, the Windows approach is to force a reboot upon you any time you make even a trivial change to the configuration. I suspect the day is not far off when Windows will report You have changed a critical configuration flag by toggling the caps-lock key. Windows must reboot now. Followed in a future release by Windows has detected that the position of the mouse has changed and must reboot. (oh, my mistake - that last feature has been in Windows all along, it just fails to work most of the time and when it does work you think it's a random crash). BTW, does anyone know if Microsoft-owned Hotmail is still using qmail despite Bill's repeated attempts to force them to switch to Exchange? :) -- Paul Allen Softflare Support
