I could be wrong with some of my answers, but here's what I understand... The chkuser patch needs to load the .qmail-default file for each domain to determine whether the domain has a catchall set or not. Domains with catchalls accept all mail, so there isn't anything for chkuser to do. Even if you are using vpopmail with the MySQL backend and aliases stored in the valias table, ezmlm mailing lists remain as .qmail files. It would theoretically be possible to have qmailadmin mirror them in the valias table, as long as all changes to the list settings were made in qmailadmin only. If lots of users will be moving in this direction, perhaps we should explore storing the default delivery setting in the database instead of the .qmail-default files. We could just use the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' entry in the valias table, but we would have to filter it out of the normal valias lookups... The only other possible table would be limits, since there's already an entry for each domain. I've also thought about storing it (default delivery) in a separate file (necessary for CDB backend), to make it easier for people to customize their .qmail-default files. I had planned to add a new option to vdelivermail (instead of deleted, bounce-no-mailbox, etc.) of 'file' to indicate that it was stored externally. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

Re: [vchkpw] mysql and valias_insert()
On Feb 12, 2005, at 3:33 PM, James Whitt wrote: I'm currently using vpopmail version 5.4.6 (from FreeBSD ports) and i'm curious about how vpopmail handles aliases while using mysql. I have build vpopmail with --enable-valias and --enable-auth-module=mysql (using the USE_MYSQL and WITH_VALIAS settings in ports for those FreeBSD people out there). The problem that I have run into is that I'm writing an application in c which uses the vpopmail libraries, and if I use the valias_insert(alias, domain, line) function that is provided, it creates a .qmail-alias file instead of inserting it directly into the database. That's very odd. If you build and install vpopmail with those two options, it will store the aliases in MySQL. The code to store them in .qmail-alias files is in the vpalias.c file, which isn't compiled when VALIAS is defined (which happens if you --enable-valias). Look for VALIAS in the config.h file and make sure it's defined. Is there a chance your code could be linking an older version of vpopmail (compiled with CDB or without valias)? -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ You don't need a laptop to troubleshoot high-speed Internet: sniffter.com

So, the user is authenticated and can read his e-mail but he isn't added to the tcp.smtp.cdb file (tcpserver). Actually authvchkpw is a version of vchkpw that's integrated with courier-imap. It never calls vchkpw directly, so it's behaving as expected. Unfortunately, I don't know about using roaming users (pop before smtp) with courier.

It's choking on a one-letter username. If vpopmail is compiled with --enable-users-big-dir, it will store the user directories in subdirectories after the first 100 users. Having a one-letter username would conflict with that hashing (one of the first 100 user directories could later turn into a hash directory which would be deleted if the user was deleted). I've been thinking about modifying vpopmail to use directory names like @a, @b, @c, etc. instead of a, b, c so that we could allow one-character user directories in all cases. I don't know how we'd make that work with existing directory structures though. Another solution would be to hash all usernames, so there weren't any users in the top directory. I guess we'd still run some risks of qmailadmin creating a mailing list or autoresponder with the same directory name and then later deleting it. If, in your account migration, you set up a different type of directory structure where one-letter usernames won't be a problem, then you can search the source for #ifdef USERS_BIG_DIR sections and remove the ifdefs that limit one-letter usernames (for your vmoduserproblem, it's in vcheck-vqpw() in vpopmail.c). -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.9 released
http://vpopmail.sf.net/
Release Notes:
This release consists of minor bug changes to the stable version
of vpopmail.
Probably the most significant fix was related to SMTP AUTH causing
segfaults on the amd64 platform. We finally found the cause of
the problem and fixed it.
Also, if you're using PostgreSQL, you should now be able to enable
auth logging to the database instead of a file.
ChangeLog:
Jeremy Kister
- Makefile.am: fix install problem on Solaris. Some .h files
weren't being installed correctly.
Charles Boening
- Fix logging in PostgreSQL.
- Change ENABLE_{MY|PG}SQL_LOGGING to ENABLE_SQL_LOGGING.
- Replace --enable-{my|pg}sql-logging with --enable-sql-logging
in configure options.
Tom Collins
- Tweaking of Charles Boening's changes.
- vchkpw: Fix problem in md5.h causing segfault in SMTP AUTH on
amd64. [964843, 958799]
- vpopmail.h: Add new error and flag defines from 5.5 series.
- vchkpw: log webmail connections as 'vchkpw-webmail'.
- vpopmail.c: fix problem related to sending SIGHUP to qmail-send.
Original problem could cause Signal 1 caught by ps error.

Look at the config.h for vpopmail, search for the definition of
PS_COMMAND.
#define PS_COMMAND ps axww
Can you send the output of that command? The vpopmail problem is
related to the function that parses the output of ps to find the
qmail-send task so it can send a SIGHUP to it.
A possible fix -- edit vpopmail.c and change the following code:
if ( tmppid != mypid ) {
kill(tmppid,sig_num);

to:

With all other SMTP AUTH methods, you can easily decode sniffed packets to get the email address and password.

[vchkpw] vdelivermail, user quotas and the maildirsize file
I've undertaken the task of cleaning up vdelivermail. I think I've fixed some problems where vdelivermail could exit without closing its connection to MySQL. I've also fixed sections that exited with the wrong exit code (causing qmail-local to assume mail was delivered when it wasn't, or vice-versa). I'm now digging into quotas. Oh, the joy. I found one immediate problem. vdelivermail was adding an email's size to the maildirsize file before it was successfully delivered. If there was any sort of error, the maildirsize file would end up out of whack. Additionally, the size of the extra headers (Return-Path and Delivered-To) weren't included in the values written. This causes a problem because POP/IMAP will enter a negative value for the size of the entire message (including those headers). I could be wrong on that -- the POP/IMAP server might use the S= part of the filename which was also written incorrectly by the old vdelivermail. Anyway, I've made some good progress, and now it only updates maildirsize if the message was successfully written. It will update the maildirsize of ANY Maildir that it delivers to, including valiases, the catchall, and save-a-copy on .qmail files that forward to another location. The only missing piece is actually checking for overquota situations on anything but a standard user without a .qmail file. I also don't handle the situation where the maildirsize file does not exist. Realistically, I can only re-create it for the Maildir that belongs to the current user. Other than reading the maildirsize file, there's no easy way to look up a quota based on a Maildir directory path. After all of the time I've put into it, there's no way I'm going to touch domain quotas...

[vchkpw] Re: [qmailadmin-devel] aliases and forwards

You can now have addresses that forward to multiple addresses, either local or remote. This is nice but i need to limit aliases and forwards for billing, i'll try to modify the source but i think it would be useful for other people to allow separate limits. What do you think about it? How do you define an alias vs. a forward? Do you count the number of email addresses the customer can create, or the number of addresses each message forwards to? I assume your logic is that you allow more aliases (local addresses) since it doesn't use any bandwidth and limit forwards (remote addresses) due to bandwidth usage. Or maybe it's just that forwarding to a remote address is more valuable and therefore worth more money? We're moving in a direction with QmailAdmin where you can have forwards that: 1) Delete email received (blackhole). The real interface isn't done, but you can create blackholes by entering # for a forwarding address. 2) Bounce email back with an error message (see qmail's bouncesaying program for details). Again, no interface yet but it's in the planning stages. 3) Forward to any number of local and/or remote addresses. How should we handle limits? It would seem that there should be no limit on blackhole and bounce addresses, since anyone can set their catchall to deleted or bounce-no-mailbox. Resource usage for 10 forwards to a single address aren't much different than 1 forward to 10 addresses, so do we start counting the number of addresses forwarded-to, instead of forwarded-from? If so, how do you explain that to the customer? Perhaps the ultimate form of billing is based on bandwidth and disk utilization. In any given month, come up with the total bandwidth used by inbound and outbound email (maybe excluding spam), and an average daily disk usage and bill accordingly.

If you just need a particular directory structure, you can modify
vpopmail.c's list of directories to create for each user:
const char *dirnames[] = {Maildir, Maildir/new, Maildir/cur,
Maildir/tmp};
You'll have to manually add code before:
/* set permissions on the user's dir */
r_chown(., uid, gid);
To create the symlink from INBOX to ../Maildir.
There is a patch on SourceForge to add skel directory support to
vpopmail, but we decided not to include it since it uses a system call
to 'cp' to copy the files -- it would be better to do the copying
within vpopmail itself.

There's no concept of a master maildirsize file for the entire domain. They have been broken since at least 5.4.0. Probably broke somewhere in 5.3. Maybe they never worked -- I don't use them so I don't know. I also don't know much about domains owned by users other than vpopmail. I had heard that there are various minor problems with doing so, but don't have details.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.8 released
http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Released 12-Nov-2004. This release consists of minor bug changes to the stable version of vpopmail. The most invasive change is related to valiases with MySQL and PostgreSQL. The new code should fix problems related to Maildir valias entries causing problems in vdelivermail. There's no need to upgrade unless you're affected by a change listed in the ChangeLog below. This release was pushed out so Tom can do a beta release of updated vdelivermail code in the next few weeks. ChangeLog: Rick Widmer - vadddomain: Check for existing domain before prompting for password. - vdeldomain: Fix uninitialized variable warning. Tom Collins - Fix problems with valias code in vmysql.c and vpgsql.c. Storing aliases in Postgres should work now, and it should fix problems with processing Maildir valias entries in vdelivermail. [985011, 1024706, 1033801] - Fix bug in vmoddomlimits that wiped out the Domain Quota when editing default limits. - Change columns in Postgres valias table to varchar from char. See README.pgsql for instructions on fixing existing tables. - vmoduser: update maildirsize instead of just deleting it when modifying quota. - vchkpw: classify POP/IMAP connections from select IPs (defaults to 127.0.0.1) as webmail and check NO_WEBMAIL user flag instead of NO_POP and NO_IMAP. - Update qmail-smtpd-auth patch in contrib to latest (0.5.6). - Update README.quotas with note about domain quotas not working. - vpopmail.c: remove unused sys/varargs.h include. - vdominfo: fix broken -a option. - vdominfo: better display of real name for alias domains. [981335] - vpopmail.c: Improved maildir_to_email() function. [953439] Gentoo Port - Integrate vuserinfo patch to fix the -a option and to display the comment/gecos field (used for real name).

It might even be possible to scan the headers and only archive certain messages (like where the Subject line contains a case number). Note that you will be archiving a copy of the message, as it was received and delivered to the attorney. Since mail servers add Received headers (and even Delivered-To headers), it's impossible to archive inbound mail exactly as it was sent. As for outbound, that's more difficult. You'd have to be confident that all of the attorneys' computers use the correct SMTP server. Perhaps qmail's extra.h patch would help with logging outbound mail. Ken's queue tap patch might be a good solution if it just adds an additional address to the list of recipients on the SMTP envelope (kind of like a Bcc).
