Try this patch and report back. If it solves your problem, then I'll
add it to the next release. (If you're not comfortable using patch, it
will be easy to modify those files by hand. Do configure.in first,

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail not parsing .qmail-extended
As far as I know, vdelivermail reads the .qmail file in the user's directory (not .qmail-default) for delivery instructions. I don't think that it supports extended addresses in the way you're looking for. It just accepts the mail as if the extension wasn't there.

[vchkpw] Re: Vpopmail, qmailadmin maildrop issue
This was emailed directly to me, but I think it is of importance to the
list. I don't have time to look into it further, but we definitely
need a change. vdelivermail() calls qmail-inject when processing
forwards in a .qmail file, but does not wait for qmail-inject to finish
before exiting.

I've a question for you.
State of art:
- maildrop filter mail delivery
- i have some forwards sett'up via qmailadmin
Problem:
Vdelivermail doesn't process .qmail fw file created by qmailadmin
when
called by maildrop
Vdelivermail processes it well when called directly.
I solved it modifing the code in vdelivermail.c:
=if ( inject == 1 ) {
=close(write_fd);
+sleep(2);
=return(0);
=}
Question:
Is there a kind of security/performance related issue to add the
sleep()
call?
Instead of the sleep, vdelivermail should wait for the qmail-inject
process to finish.
Thanks for catching this, it will require a bit of extra coding and
testing to be sure that we're doing things correctly. It should work
something like this (I think).
pid_t pid;
int childstatus;
pid = qmail_inject_open(address);
...
if ( inject == 1 ) {
close(write_fd);
waitpid (pid, childstatus, 0);
/* we should check childstatus here and fail accordingly if
qmail-inject failed */
return (0);
}
Perhaps someone with more experience with forked processes can take a
closer look at this.

No, because we need to continue supporting aliases stored as .qmail-alias files (which is actually unrelated to the backend) even when using a database as a front-end. vpalias.c is the default method for storing aliases. --enable-valias overrides that option and stores aliases in MySQL (only if you're using MySQL as the backend). -- 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/
Re: [vchkpw] vdominfo question -- using get_domain_entries()
On Apr 25, 2004, at 4:13 PM, Rick Widmer wrote: The 'could not open assign file' error is triggered by the fact that the first call to get_domain_entries( developersdesk.net ) returned NULL. I see two possible ways to solve this problem: 1: Return just the information about the desired domain alias: --- vdominfo developersdesk.net domain: developersdesk.net ... realdomain: developersdesk.com Note: developersdesk.net is an alias for developersdesk.com --- 2: Return a data block for the parent domain: --- vdominfo developersdesk.net domain: developersdesk.com ... realdomain: developersdesk.com domain: developersdesk.net ... realdomain: developersdesk.com Note: developersdesk.net is an alias for developersdesk.com domain: developersdesk.org ... realdomain: developersdesk.com Note: developersdesk.org is an alias for developersdesk.com --- At first glance, 1 looks to be the right answer. After sleeping on it, I think I like 2 better because it is the real answer to the question of what developersdesk.net really is. It is also easier to implement. I can just use vget_assign() in vdominfo to retrieve the real domain name before passing it to get_domain_entries(). 1 requires changing the code in get_domain_entries(). I agree that two is the better solution. It might be possible to simply modify get_domain_entries() by adding a few lines (manually typed and not tested): if (!*match_buffer || (strcmp (match_buffer, entry.realdomain) == 0)) return entry; + /* if alias domain matches our search criteria, re-run the search + using real domain instead */ + if (strcmp (match_buffer, entry.domain) == 0) + return get_domain_entries (entry.realdomain); With a screwy users/assign file, you will get weird results. You need to be sure that all real domains are only aliased to themselves. For example, this would be bad: b.com:a.com a.com:b.com It should always be: b.com:b.com a.com:b.com Searching for a.com will cancel the search at 'a.com:b.com' and re-run it for b.com. In the first example, it would match b.com:a.com and re-run it for a.com and get in an infinite loop. --- vdominfo developersdesk.com domain: developersdesk.com uid:77 gid:72 dir:/mail/domains/developersdesk.com users: 0 alias: developersdesk.net alias: developersdesk.org --- --- vdominfo developersdesk.net domain: developersdesk.com uid:77 gid:72 dir:/mail/domains/developersdesk.com users: 0 alias: developersdesk.net alias: developersdesk.org --- Comments? I agree that this is a preferred format. Also, if it doesn't already do so, vdominfo should exit non-zero if the domain doesn't exist. That way, shell script can run it, ignore the output and check the exit code to see if it's a valid domain for that server. -- 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/

Michael, I don't think that's a good ideia to let users keep so much messages on the server. Specially if they are using all that space because of messages with large attachments (when you attach a file to an e-mail message the file size grows about 33%). In my opinion you're using the wrong protocol to transport and store messages. If they have to send/receive large files, give FTP accounts to them. If they want to keep all messages, they should save it on a CD or any other media, instead of asking you to increase the quota over and over again. Mailboxes were not created to store 2GB each. Well, that's my 2 cents ;) Regardless, it's still a good idea to properly support sizes 2GB.

Since there are not that many users per domain, less than 100 average, will CDB Files be a better solution to this problem? Can this machine work with more memory?

Re: [vchkpw] Failing logins - mysql issue?
On Jul 1, 2004, at 7:56 PM, Charles Sprickman wrote: Just to add a bit, it certainly looks mysql related. But one thing that's really got me stumped is that my db is showing almost as many update and replace queries as select queries, which seems kind of odd. I'm not creating new users, and the mysql logging is disabled. As far as I can recall, vpopmail is just doing select's right? If you have roaming users (POP before SMTP) enabled, it stores the IP information in a table. Every POP auth will generate an update or replace into that table. I think it also updates a last login timestamp for each user when they authenticate (vuserinfo reports this information). -- 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/

Re: [vchkpw] upgrading 5.3.30 to 5.4.x
On Jul 9, 2004, at 12:08 PM, Charles Sprickman wrote: Out of curiousity, what has changed? My current super-patch-pack for qmail was quite difficult to put together, so I'm a litle hesitant to try and get the newer smtp-auth patches into that mess. Is there any way to continue with the old patch? What exactly has changed on the vpopmail side that breaks the old patch? The method of passing the CRAM-MD5 challenge and response from qmail-smtpd to vchkpw has varied in different releases of the SMTP AUTH patch to qmail-smtpd and the code if vchkpw. Someone, somewhere determined the proper order (based on documentation, perhaps related to the chkpasswd(?) program used on non-vpopmail systems) and the latest (0.42) SMTP AUTH patch and the code in vpopmail 5.4.0 were both fixed. You should be able to apply your super-patch-pack, then unpatch (patch -r?) your original SMTP AUTH patch and then apply the latest patch. And is there anything else I should be aware of when upgrading? Like I said, I didn't see anything major in the changelogs, but I'd still like to get some feedback from anyone who's made the jump to 5.4.x from 5.3.30. Hard to say. We started using an external file (~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql) to store MySQL settings instead of having them hard-coded in vmysql.h. If you've read through the ChangeLog entries, you should have seen any critical issues. We started supporting valiases in MySQL fully in vpopmail and qmailadmin (so you can replace aliases, forwards and autoresponders in .qmail-alias files with MySQL table entries). -- 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/

Make sure your SMTP server is running as the vpopmail user. Make sure qmail-smtpd has the correct SMTP AUTH patch to match your vpopmail installation. At some point leading up to the 5.4 release, we fixed a bug in vchkpw related to CRAM-MD5 SMTP AUTH. But, you need to use the correct (bug-fixed) SMTP AUTH patch to qmail-smtpd to go with it. -- 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/

Because I have users that connect from other internet providers in many cities, and I don't want to allow open relay or maintain the /etc/tcp.smtp. Sometimes, there are users using dial-up connections, and to maintain /etc/tcp.smtp is hard. I guess I don't understand your original email. It sounded like you were saying: I only want to accept mail for domains in rcpthosts. If that's the case, turn of relaying entirely. You would only have to worry about external users sending email to other external users (@x.com sends to @y.com). I can't think of an easy way to tell qmail: 1) Accept mail for local users [but only from a limited list of external domains?]. 2) Accept mail for this limited list of external domains if a user authenticates with SMTP AUTH.
